Old Londontown Here’s a fun photo I took while crossing the bridge on the way to Westminster Abbey. You’ll also notice it as one of the main shots featured in that video we put up on the StuckInCustoms YouTube video.A big reason I ended up tilting the photo wasn’t just to be quirky or artsy or whatever, but I felt like I really wanted that cool light fixture in the photo without losing balance. A normal shot ends up with the light and abbey quite prominent, but a lot of “dead space” in the upper left. I don’t know if I explained that right… I don’t mind white space in a shot, but I feel like it should still be balanced.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

London’s Times Square London’s Piccadilly Circus is a treasure trove of angles and compositions for all photographers.  It doesn’t even matter if you formally call yourself a “photographer” or not, because I think anyone even with a mobile phone would be busy snapping photos.  It’s really wild to see, actually.  It’s like a non-stop photowalk with random people, everyone taking photos in every direction… and I think this trend will continue.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Old London From Above It's a long walk to the top of St. Paul's.  And by long walk, I should throw in that there are a lot of stairs.  But, after you finally arrive, you're greeted by a wonderful view of the city.  As long as you don't have too much of an issue with heights, you'll be in for a treat.Even though I saw all sorts of stuff while I was up there, I enjoyed working on this photo too.  I was able to zoom into 100% and look at all the details and little buildings/bridges/shops once again.  It reminded me of walking around many of them at ground level.- Trey RatcliffRead more here 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 :)

An Awesome Spot for a Wine Bar I was over taking photos of that monstrous church over there before walking home. Luckily (I don’t always do this), I looked over my shoulder as I was walking down this little road with the wine bar. It seemed like kind of a cool scene, so I set up to take photos.Naturally, people always come over and ask what I am doing. It is very confusing to many people that someone would actually like to take a photo of all this. Sometimes I feel like photography is getting very mainstream and everyone is doing it, but then again, I see very few people out doing stuff like this. And, I guess it makes it even more niche if all these people are coming over trying to figure out what I am doing.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
