The Distant Mist While in Iceland, I traveled through a lowlands area early in the morning. A mist -- a video-game-mist -- started moving quickly across the ground and through the distant hillocks. It was all so surreal that I barely remembered that I should be taking a photo of this. That was a strange feeling, since the whole reason I was there was to take photos! :)- Trey RatcliffRead the rest of this entry at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Home in the Hillside Is it okay if I do two Iceland photos in a row? I hope so, because I'm very excited about this one too.Some of these places you can't see from the road. If you walk over one hill and down another, you can find these wonderful little places tucked away in hillsides. Even though it's all fallen apart, it's still charming... sort of a fixer-upper!- Trey RatcliffRead the rest, including some news on the Android app, here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Beginning of Time I spent most of a weekend working on this photo. One common question is, "How long do these photos take?" They take me anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. It's not contiguous work, of course, but some are so challenging that I have to keep returning to them time and time again.This spot in northern central Iceland is a bit perilous to reach. It's so perilous here at Godafoss, in fact, that I am glad my mom didn't see me getting into position. Is the water cold? Yes, yes it is.- Trey RatcliffRead the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Epic Iceland I have many things in common with Tom. One of them is the love of “Epic” scenes. These mostly come from movies, but it spans many different pursuits. He’s the only other guy I met that can also quote scenes from Lawrence of Arabia.So, obviously I do like to find epic scenes in the world, and I feel like Iceland is full of them. Capturing them the right way is another ball of wax, but that is most of the fun.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Waiting on the Solstice Sun Up in the northwest fjords of Iceland, the roads end but the land keeps going.There is this distant island, pictured here, that has no roads at all. It seems so remote and... well... scary. I don't know why I get that foreboding sense! It just feels so lonely, so far north... the cliffs are so sheer... no one to hear you scream... and these sorts of things. I do like being remote, but this is a little too remote.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Lighthouse in Iceland The northwest fjords in Iceland have quickly become one of my favorite areas of the country. People ask me all the time, "I'm going to XXXX country, where should I go?" That is one of the reasons I created the new Stuck On Earth -- for just that purpose. Now, when you zoom into Iceland, you'll see a big collection of images up in this area. Whenever you see clusters of pins in one area versus another, you'll get the general idea that one area has more photo hotspots than another. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Alcatraz in the Dusk Today's photo was taken recently in San Francisco. That tower you see there in the mid-distance is Coit Tower. Just beyond that, in the middle of the bay, you can see Alcatraz. I've never made it out to Alcatraz to take photos, but it is on my list. I wonder how much freedom (!) I would have out there to roam around with my tripod. Have any of you gotten out there? - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Alone, In Iceland I went over a high mountain pass that connects one remote part of the country into another. There’s always ice and snow up here. Well, really, it’s mostly ice and very little snow.This little stone and wood framed home stood desperately alone.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Wicked Show I was in a hangout the other night with Chee Chew from Google, and, somehow, the topic of musicals came up. It turns out that he's a huge fan of musicals and he saw Wicked here in London also. I would have never taken that guy for a big fan of musicals... and I suppose there are many lurker-musical fans out there... are you one of them? It's okay... you can admit it... you're amongst friends here :) - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
