Sunset in Virgin Gorda I’m having a great time in Virgin Gorda! I took this a few nights ago while waiting on the Supermoon! I was here on the rocky coast (Savannah Beach) all alone when I took this photo, and I had an idea for a photo plus processing… it turned out to be much more painstaking than I originally thought, but I learned a few things along the way… the light and the motion of the water was so… intoxicating… that I wanted to bring it back to life here for you all…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
New York, Yellow Cab
Here is one of my favorite areas of New York. It's right by the famous Flatiron building -- but I obviously did not shoot in that direction here.

There's often a nice traffic flow, and it makes for a fun experiment to time out the traffic. Since I shoot from -2 to +2., I try to predict when the middle exposure will in the right spot to get the right amount of blur on that photo. My rules for this are a little different based on the time of day and a few other factors.

The Bund in the Rain This is shot from the old British part of Shanghai called the Bund. The rain was bitter rough that night and I was on the roof, but I managed to get in position and stay dry enough (for a moment) for this one.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A Small Carousel in France If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!It was just past 10 PM on the wet streets of Paris as I was getting lost on purpose around the streets near the Church of the Sacred Heart. I bobbed and weaved through various little alleys, streets, and tiny bakeries (where I would just have to stop for a moment), before finding my way to this little faire. There was a small carousel spinning away with tiny little French children screaming wonderful things...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Zipping Through Tokyo I think it rained almost every day I was in Tokyo, but that's just fine with me.  It gives you all these "Black Rain" conditions, and makes the place twice as moody as it already was.  I walked through Rappongi one evening to find a secret Italian restaurant.  I ended up having to cross the road so many times on these overpasses, that I finally decided to stop and take a photo of the action underneath.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Batmobile Everyone likes the Batmobile yes?  It's especially cool when you see one on the side of the road in Texas that some comic-book redneck has souped up to be something that is on the edge of street-legal.  I jumped out quick to grab a shot before the owner could come out and hit me with some sort of a 2x4, which I only assumed me might be carrying.  Actually, you never know... around Austin it's just as likely to be a doctor or lawyer (assuming one of those two to be an honorable, upstanding profession!(also notice the nice only-in-Texas trailer hitch on the back)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Ripping Through the City Streets of Tokyo This photo was taken on my final night in Tokyo.  It was rainy, cool, and perfect for street photography.  It's hard to explain HOW clean my sensor was in this photo.  I had the privilege of taking it to the Nikon Headquarters in Tokyo and having the sensor cleaned by a real Japanese guy.  It was a religious experience -- and it only cost $10!  What a deal!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
