Spanish Streets at NightThe old part of Ibiza is has a medieval layout where the inner city is ringed by a city curtain wall.

Distant Rocks Off Ibiza I gave the class 138 of my original RAW photos, right out of the camera. Their assignment was to begin working with these ones off Ibiza. I made this during class, so I wanted to go ahead and post it here. BTW, if you're having trouble logging into the Clubhouse to get the files, be sure to contact support@stuckincustoms.com. I took photos all throughout the sunset, before and after. I visited this spot 3 different times. Of the three times, this was one of the best. There was about a quarter-mile strip of beach and rock, all of which had good angles. So I kind of worked my way back and forth as the light changed... - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Night View from Balcony in Ibiza Ibiza is a really strange place. This hotel (Ibiza Gran) seemed to be typical of hotels in Ibiza when it came to the clientele. Here's the deal... if you have never heard this, you'll think it sounds pretty strange -- and it is. So a lot of people in Ibiza dress in all white. White pants, white shirt, free-flowing fabrics, and cavalier attitudes flow in and out of the hotel lobby, bar, poolside restaurant, and the spa. It's all very strange. It's sort of a combination of a Clockwork Orange and a Euro Sci-Fi Orgy. I can't quite explain it... I'm not sure I understand it, and I didn't succumb, even though everyone did seem very comfy. After a long day of exploring and shooting, I went out on the balcony to get a shot of the pool and the moon behind the clouds. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Exploring Ibiza at Night The old medieval town of Ibiza is an awesome place for exploration at night. Every nook, cranny, alley, and cobblestone street was built for photography. And it was doubly-awesome after a little rain gave everything a reflective sheen.After we finished dinner, we started the long walk back to the hotel. It took 10x as long as normal with all the stops along the way. But comon... how can you walk past something like this and not take a photo? Impossible!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Pier at the End of Times Here is a good tip for you when it comes to sunsets. It also works if you have something in the center worthy of attention, which is commonly the case with sunsets.When you use a wide-angle lens, like this 14-24, you will automagically get a feeling that everything is pointed to the middle. That is obvious, but you can "help the cause" and make the effect more pronounced by doing the following. If the there are repeating elements of roughly the same size (in this case: 1- slats of a dock and 2- blobs of clouds), then those elements will create leading lines to the horizon as they get logarithmically smaller towards the infinity point. In a sense, the slats only do part of the job, but the clouds do the rest of the job. Then, this allows you to have leading lines that take people in and out and back around the work.So, one thing to look for when shooting with the wide angle lens is multiple objects of roughly the same shape. After that, you can try to set up so they repeat ever smaller towards the horizon.This particular photo was taken in Ibiza one evening, just after the sun dipped into the Mediterranean.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Last Sunset It was one of those perfect sunsets where time went in slow motion. I was on high-alert, and kept everything flowing as I moved from location to location. It's not easy to dance across rocks with the tripod fully extended, but it certainly is memorable!I saw this dock early in the day, and I was secretly hoping that it might just point towards the sun as it passed the horizon. So I had this shot planned along with about 10 others. Some worked out and some didn't. This is one of the ones that worked out.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A Rainy and Romantic Night in Ibiza Part of Ibiza is an old walled medieval town that is surrounded by layers of winding streets old shops intermixed with homes. A few streets away from the walls, some of the streets are full of pubs and quirky shops... I think it's better to explore them at night than in the day -- and especially so in the rain.On this night, it was a little chilly and rainy, but that does not effect my camera. I've never had a problem because of rain or cold or heat or anything. It just works!The rainy streets were full of colors and life. I saw this couple quickly walking under an umbrella so I took a quick one to capture the scene. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Exploring Medieval Ibiza I did not know this prior to flying to the little island of Ibiza off the coast of Spain -- but I was happy to discover that the old part of the city is an walled medieval town. Awesome! Whenever I see one of those, all I want to do is run around them, like I'm in a the latest Assassin's Creed, except with a camera instead of a stiletto incognito.The old part of the city has been turned into galleries, restaurants, and small boutique hotels. The textures and lights are warm and supple. I loved walking around and discovering little parts here and there -- it was all especially nice because it was completely unexpected.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Sunset in Ibiza Ibiza is a fabulous island off the coast of Spain that is the "in" destination for all the Euros that like to get trashed, party, dress in white, do medium-level-drugs, and stay on the beach without many clothes.I saw this girl bouncing around and very happy about something, so I went over and said hello, introducing myself. She didn't speak much English, but I managed to ask her if I could take a photo of her. She enthusiastically said yes, and I explained the sitch as we walked over to the water, mostly using interpretive dance to span the language gap. She was Italian and her name was Wendy. I think that is a strange name for an Italian, but I didn't question it. Anyway, I asked her just to walk off into the ocean and I would take a photo. She did just that, and I grabbed this shot just as the sun was dipping below the horizon.- Trey RatcliffThe rest of this entry resides here at stuckincustoms.com.

Spanish Streets at Night


The old part of Ibiza is has a medieval layout where the inner city is ringed by a city curtain wall. Once inside, all the streets are narrow and twisty and lined with different kinds of stone. This looks back at the main entrance to the area.

I haven’t spent as much time in some of these ancient old cities as I would like. There is a lot of satisfaction in setting up for shots in these areas. It’s nice to take my time and compose this and that… I find great enjoyment in this!
