This is Sujatmi Sujatmi’s dream is that her grandkids grow up to be brave and smart. She is currently sitting in a makeshift annex area in a bustling riverside community in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. Dozens of tiny thatched and improvised houses are cobbled together and brightly painted. There are kids running around and other adults running after them, trying to get them to sit still so they can begin school. I’ve accidentally interrupted the whole affair while getting confused in the tiny alleys, no wider than a set of shoulders. She’s thrilled by the excitement as she looks on, nodding at me and the kids. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Grooming and Bugs I found this male and female doing a bit of grooming just outside of the jungles of Cambodia. I've taken photos of a lot of monkeys. They are all over SE Asia and India, so I always pay special attention to them. I suppose that, as a Westerner, I'm just used to seeing monkeys in zoos. So whenever I see them running all over creation, it always makes me laugh. I chase 'em around and take photos like a nut. These two, however, I snuck up on. It's not easy to sneak up on a monkey, mind you. But these two were really into each other. I did a low approach like a Navy SEAL to get as close as I could. The female noticed me at the last second, and I grabbed this shot before they started to run away.This was shot at 70mm, which was maximum zoom for my 28-70mm lens. The f-stop was at 2.8, which allows me as much light as possible in a tight focus plane. I kept the ISO at 100 for a clean shot with no noise. There was enough light for a quick shutter speed of 1/250.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The River's Cool Morning Spray on my Lens Another morning waking up at 5:00 AM. I'll admit... even though I sleep very little, getting up before 6 is always a little rough. But it's what you gotta do if you want to see the sun rise in the north during the summer. Of course, the freezing rivers that rip through the canyons of Glacier National Park offer a thousand opportunities for good lighting at daybreak. I think I got a little too close to the river here and some of the morning wind kicked up some spray from the rapids onto the lens. In retrospect, I should not have been standing anywhere near that thing!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
