The Car Trip - Fog in Slow Motion A few days ago, I posted a grouping of three photos from the car trip, so here are three more for you! Also, maybe you saw some of these in the new video that launched yesterday… so here they are a bit bigger and whatnot!I woke up early in the morning to visit the sound to see what was happening. Everything seemed in slow motion while the fog slowly wafted across the water…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Ducks on a Foggy Morning There is a soft silence that covers still waters in the early morning.  If you've ever been by a slow-moving river before the sun is over the horizon, maybe you know what I mean.  It reminds me a bit of the name of the wind, in that it folds one silence into another.When driving across the southern part of Iceland towards Wik, I went through an area of several miles where there was a sudden fog.  I felt like it might not last long, so I went on a quick hike over near a slow-flowing river.  Some ducks were having a morning swim off towards the misty horizon.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Wall of Fog The morning in Yellowstone had the most unusual weather! While I was driving in, the Earth-heated river was steaming in the frigid morning air.  It looked incredibly awesome, but I knew it was the kind of thing that was really tough to capture in a photo.  After a bit more exploration and random turns, the road approached a giant wall of solid fog.  I popped out of the car for a shot before getting back in to drive into the wall.  Inside, the morning light was strange when it came in at sharp angles through the trees.  Since I had to drive so slow, I pulled over to the side and took out my pack for a morning hike into the trees...  I have more of those shots to post in the future!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Trees and an Aircraft Carrier in the Fog The time I spent in San Diego was very moody and covered in fog.  I went down to the shore one night to spy the USS Midway.  The fog was pea-soup thick and it gave the environs quite the mood.  I found these amazing trees nearby that seemed wonderfully illuminated against the glow from the aircraft carrier.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Morning Steam Through the Forest in Yellowstone I woke up just before 5 AM today so I could get out there and do some sunrise shooting.  It was a great morning and I found all kinds of interesting spots.  I drove by a bank of trees that had some steam from a nearby river flowing through them... and it looked so cool that I hiked around the forest to find a nice configuration of trees and steamy fog.I was exhausted after shooting most of the day.  I drove over the the Firehole River to have a swim.  There was no one else around, and I didn't have a swimsuit, so I just went in my undies.  This seemed like a great idea until my underwear ripped on a rock.  This, combined with very sensitive feet that make me look crazy when walking on a rocky shore, made for quite a scene.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Buddha in the Jungle Highlands This peaceful buddha looks out across the mist and fog on a relaxing morning…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Hidden Buddhist Temple of Borobudur at Sunrise This morning I got a wakeup call at 3:30 AM to head out on a distant trek to Borobudur to climb the temple before sunrise.  I had a flashlight and a fully loaded iPod for the ascent.  I stayed at the top and all around the temple for most of the morning, collecting shots here and there as misty clouds rolled in, through, around, and over the temple.This temple laid abandoned and overgrown for about 800 years until it was rediscovered by the British.You can see the distant volcano rumbing in the morning sunrise...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Beating Hearts of the Buddhas The morning fog coming off the top of the jungle trees was not like anything I had seen before.  There was just enough morning light to give everything a twilight blue and paint the mountains in the distance a deeper color.I tried something a little bit different with this photo.  I was holding two flashlights to help me climb the temple in the morning. I think I got there about 5:30 AM when it was still pitch black, so the flashlights helped me find the right footholds and whatnot.  Anyway, this was an extremely long exposure, so I used some of that time to "paint" the inside of the bell cages with the beams of my flashlights.  Each of those bell cages held a solitary outward-facing Buddha.  I'm glad I was there alone, because I'm sure I looked like a loon running around shining the flashlights in patterns to illuminate the Buddhas inside.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
