The Lincoln Memorial I got this photo in a hurry. I bet I raised a few security alarms too because of my unusual behavior. I didn't have much time, so I had my wife drive nearby and park illegally on the curb for a few minutes. She wasn't a fan of that, but let's not talk about this right now. So, I jumped out of the car, hauled my tripod out of the trunk, and dashed across the green hill towards the memorial. I grabbed photos in a rushed way and dashed back to the car and sped away. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Lincoln Memorial DC is certainly one of those no-tripod areas, especially when very close to some of the key installations. And, some of those Federal guards are not the ones who are up for a good argument. I wonder sometimes if they do a little face-recognition on me and get a general sense of my Libertarianism. That surely would not help me win any arguments...So I had to take this one handheld. It was dark inside and the time was way past sunset. Since the only ambient light was manmade, I had to wedge myself into a corner to keep the camera as still as possible for the exposures. Of course, quick shutter speeds are a must, so I cranked up the ISO a bit to keep things snappy.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Endless Rows of Arlington Cemetery Not too far from the capitol in DC is the sprawling expanse of Arlington Cemetery. It is a very somber place... It was just my son and I, walking around for quite a while together. I think it all made an impression on him.We stayed so long into the evening -- we were the last ones there! Except for the security guards, who walked with us as we were leaving, since they locked up behind us. It was nice, however -- they took their time and let me set up for a few final shots with the tripod as the light was falling behind the storm clouds.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Trees and an Aircraft Carrier in the Fog The time I spent in San Diego was very moody and covered in fog. I went down to the shore one night to spy the USS Midway. The fog was pea-soup thick and it gave the environs quite the mood. I found these amazing trees nearby that seemed wonderfully illuminated against the glow from the aircraft carrier.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
