Chicago Forever I took this from on top of one of the highest buildings in Chicago. Everyone else was shooting in the other direction - towards all the big buildings. Well, I did too to be honest... but, then I came over here... looking out this way was strangely compelling, so I decided to give it a go! :) - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Secret Church Who would have ever guessed that this immense, classically architected church is in the middle of Chicago, Il? It's quite amazing, isn't it?My friend Fiona took me here around the time of the Chicago book launch party. It is a great place place for all kinds of HDR photography. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Metal Moose After the book party in Chicago (thanks again for all of you that showed up!), we had a little photowalk the next day. Along the way, we stopped outside an office building near Michigan Avenue that had this enormous metal moose. I'm not a big fan of taking photos of art, but this was an exception. - Trey Ratcliff The rest of this entry, as well as plugs for a few eBooks by friends of mine, is here.
The Red Room, Revisited Frequent visitors will recognize this amazing place in Chicago. It is the Crimson Lounge, and this is where we had the big book party in Chicago. - Trey Ratcliff Read more of this entry at the Stuck in Customs Blog.
Chicago from a Chopper Chicago is an awesome city and I always have a good time there. This time of year, it gets a bit cold... and if you don't have a good coat pre-buttoned before you go outside, well, that's a big mistake.I have a good friend there that arranged a helicopter for me in Chicago and took the door off! I hung out for a few hours battling the backwash as we circled the city and flew in and out of the buildings. This is one of the shots from that series, and I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I did shooting it!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Inside My Secret Cloning Chamber I would love to have a mad scientist lab that is only accessible via a retinal scan and a special dance. Inside I would have all kinds of fabulous things, including a clone chamber where I would clone myself several times so that I could keep track of all my various social networks. The clone would, of course, have the same retina, but it could not gain access into the mad science lab because it would fail the special dance bit.I'd very much like to record a music video in here alongside Flight of the Conchords.As you can see from my intricate tagging system, this was shot in Chicago. Who is the first to know this location? And my Chicago insider is not allowed to say!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Hanging Out of the Chopper Here is another photo that I took that evening when I was flying in a helicopter around downtown Chicago. The pilots were cool enough to take off the door to give me an unencumbered view. That part was great -- the thing I did not expect was the 200 MPH backwash flying through the cavity. It made it rather tough to keep the camera steady!This is a shot (on Facebook) that Fiona got of me hanging out of the helicopter (albeit on the ground!).Now, I know some of you EXIF-hunters love to know all the dirty details of the exposure. I keep it inside the Flickr page if you click on More Properties. But to save you the time, here is the basic info. BTW, this is a single-exposure RAW file that I converted into an HDR. This was shot at f/2.8 with an Exposure Bias of -5. The shutter was 1/8000, the ISO 800, and it was shot at 18mm. The camera was the Nikon D3X and it was shot with the 14-24mm 2.8 lens. I have details of all that stuff over there in the DSLR Camera equipment area.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
An Afternoon in Chicago I've been spending a lot of time in Chicago lately. Here is a picture just before sunset from the top of the John Hancock building.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Underground Peoplemover to the International Terminal I found this on the way to Hong Kong… so I stopped for a quick shot while security eyed me with suspicion… But they have those cool TSA badges that makes them look all official and everything, but I just ignored them.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
