Tom with the Horse The first time Tom and I took photos of horses was on Oahu. This was our second horse-encounter here in New Zealand! He got up close with his fisheye while I backed up with the 70-200 f/2.8 to get this shot.I really like those mountains behind Tom. I want to get a shot of them this winter when they are all covered in snow! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Frolic and the Fancy by Max Patte Here’s the first photo I took of these transcendent statues. I’m surprised at people’s reaction to this photo online. So many people thought they were real! I suppose I did too the first time I saw them. There is one other very unusual thing. I don’t know what they are made of, even though I was right beside them. Obviously, I know next to nothing about sculpture, but I have some basic knowledge of materials (I think!). Anyway, I absolutely am not sure how they are made… I’ll ask Max and report back to you! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Tableau Vivant Of Wild HorsesIt was about 2 A.M. and the sun was just dipping into the horizon for a short stint. These horses were frolicking about in a huge flat field a bit inland from the end of the fjord. They were all so lively and alert, jumping and posing here and there. And then they set up in a very interesting configuration, and I barely had time to put on the right lens before it all drifted apart.- Trey RatcliffRead the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Golden Horse in Iceland We worked on this one tonight in the webinar, and I hope people didn't get too bored. It's very strange, because I am talking to myself for over an hour, and I only get occasional feedback when Andrea stops watching reruns of Ricki Lake. Anyway, I'll just assume that people like seeing it, since people keep showing up. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at www.stuckincustoms.com.
Four Horses It was one of those long summer afternoons when you are sure it must be 5 PM, and you check the clock and it's only 2 PM! You know these days. Anyway, I decided to pick up my camera and walk around the ranch in Yellowstone for a little while The stable area is always a target, rich environment, so I headed right over there to find these four horses lined up so nicely.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Icelandic Sheepdog Here is another one of these unusual-looking horses from Iceland. When Rebekka took me out to the fjords to go shoot horses, I did not expect that the horses would be nearly so hairy. I was thinking it might have been seasonal because of the cold, but then again, I have very little business determining anything about Icelandic wildlife.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Horse in Window I can never decide if I enjoy naming photos or not! I think I enjoy it when I come up with a good name, and I don't like when I come up with a boring name. Let's take this one for example: "Horse in Window." I mean, how uncreative can I be? What's wrong with me?When I am editing photos, and the muse visits, I am like a man possessed. I can rip through a bunch of photos and make some nice little creations. But then I click "Save As...", and I just blank out on a name. I think the creative part of my brain for making photos is different than the part for naming things.I do enjoy writing, and I often find that the words flow easily. This bit of me seems disconnected from the photo-editing bit, though.There is a small slice of solace, I think, in considering the names of some of the great paintings from my impressionist heroes. They have names like "Girl in Field" and "Sun on Water". Not too exciting, but they do stand the test of time. But "Horse in Window"? I think not! - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at Trey Ratcliff's travel photography blog, Stuck in Customs.
Horses on an Evening Meadow Every night before sunset, the horses would be let out of the corral for a bit of "personal" time. They spent almost no time at all on the Internet, and, instead, just meandered around this grassy meadow at the ranch. The grass looks nice eh? And there was no lawn-mowing necessary. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest, including a discussion on some Topaz issues, here.
Running Wild, Across the Meadow I was just returning from one little adventure and then I stumbled onto another one! Every day, about this time, a few dozen horses from the ranch run free across the meadow to graze in distant pastures. They stay cooped up inside the corral for most of the day, so they love the chance to run free. The cowboy rides behind them, cracking his whip. It echoes through the valley and everything seems right in the world. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest (and help me pick my new phone!) here.
