Curving Around Iceland
Iceland is pretty.  Do I have to keep saying it?  Maybe I do... you know...  you know how a girl likes to be reminded in a gentle way all the time that she is pretty?  Yes, I guess I can extend this to Iceland... so... you may tire of me saying it, but I'll keep saying how pretty Iceland is.

The ROT Biker Rally Every year we get thousands of bikers that descend on Austin for a few days during the big ROT Biker Rally. They cruise up and down 6th Street and close fill the streets with incredible bikes and works of art.  It's an amazing place for photography, so I was able to take a break this evening and go down and shoot for a few hours.I remember when I was growing up that bikers where just about the scariest people on earth.  But now, everyone I have met seems to be much nicer and more affable than the average joe.  They love having pictures taken of their bikes and generally seem to love life.  That's cool.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A Little Place I Found on the Way to Dinner in Germany I wish I could walk to dinner every night and find little places like this along the way. Since I carry my tripod and camera just about everywhere, I'd always be ready in case something like this pops up!This was shot in Halle, Germany, just a short train ride from Leipzig.  I love how these old churches are often lit with orange lights... I think it always makes them look nice against the blue dusky skies.Setting up the tripod for these evening HDRs always allows you to set the ISO as low as possible, and in aperture priority mode, the shutter will stay open for a long time, letting those clouds drift by and drag light across the lens.  It gives a nice feel to the shot and makes the church look even more timeless and solid.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

A Cool Waterfall to Relax at During the Hike During the hike through the Andes, I would vacillate between sweating hot and frigid cold.  Sometimes, things would be just about perfect and an idyllic waterfall like this one would emerge from the Eden-like trail.  It was the perfect place to take a load off in the cool water for a break.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
