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.
The Long Road to New Zealand This is one of countless beautiful roads that crisscross New Zealand. I'm afraid I've forgotten exactly where I was when I took this photo! I know that is very lame, but I bet people around here can help me pinpoint the area.As far as the camera settings, this is the kind of shot you can get with something called "compression," a method where you use a zoom lens and zoom in quite far. It takes images in the distance and makes them larger than life.- Trey RatcliffRead more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Horse in Landscape Remember what I said a few days ago about reasons for no stopping for almost every horse photo in Iceland? Forget I said that. I don't know what I was talking about. Go ahead and stop... I mean, how on earth can you pass this buy?These horses remind me a bit of the sirens in Odysseus, distracting me from my destination... But, really, that analogy falls apart because I had no destination in mind, so I allow myself plenty of wonderful distractions.- Trey RatcliffRead more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Unknown Land After a while, my boat driver thought I was insane. We started before the sunrise and kept going, and going, and going, and going... he kept giving me the international head movement for "we really should be returning for a spot of tea," but I kept motioning him further up the river.To me, the river got most interesting when we saw no more people, except for the occasional fisherman that still had remote hut for his family along the river. I had plenty of battery power, amazing music on my iPod, a full array of snacks, a ton of drinks, and nothing to do for the rest of the day and night... so I was perfectly content just going until our gas tank reached 50%. And that took a long time... and who would want to stop with views like this around every other turn?- Trey RatcliffRead more, including some exciting news about our YouTube channel, here 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.
The Tree Alone Against the World There was this interesting tree sitting alone after a morning snow. The snow had melted, but the skies still had these white-out conditions. Those skies normally make for very dull visuals, so I thought this would be a good candidate for textures. I think, by now, you guys know I can’t stand a boring sky in my photos… and since you can’t always have a four-star sunset, maybe it drove me to use the world around me to find textures to re-purpose inside these photos. I don’t know. Maybe I’ll figure out that bit in a while.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Exploring South America This is probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I knew it was going to be pretty beforehand, but I wasn’t really prepared for the non-stop grandeur of the landscapes. We chose the perfect time to go, right in the middle of Autumn. The backpacking took about twice as long as expected. I couldn’t stop myself from holding up every few minutes to set up for another photo. It was irresistible! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Horse of Sagas I was in the middle of a beautiful drive in Northern Iceland just past midnight. The sun was about to dip below the horizon, and I was in the last hour of a five-hour sunset. Unbelievable! I passed a perfect grassy farm filled with perfect Icelandic horses ...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

The Wall of Fog The morning in Yellowstone had the most unusual weather! While I was driving in, the Earth-heated river was steaming in the frigid morning air. It looked incredibly awesome, but I knew it was the kind of thing that was really tough to capture in a photo. After a bit more exploration and random turns, the road approached a giant wall of solid fog. I popped out of the car for a shot before getting back in to drive into the wall. Inside, the morning light was strange when it came in at sharp angles through the trees. Since I had to drive so slow, I pulled over to the side and took out my pack for a morning hike into the trees... I have more of those shots to post in the future!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
