Tokyo from a Window Tokyo is one of those cities that looks incredible from every angle and from every window!If you are like me, whenever you see a window, you sometimes act a bit like a dork and move your body and head in strange ways to "frame a photo".  Do you do that?  Maybe it's just me.  And it's not just windows... it's everything that forms some kind of a square or rectangular frame on the world.This time, I happened to have my camera with me and I set up the shot so it was just exactly what I saw out the window.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Spaceship of Tokyo Maybe after the workshop Alfie will take us over to this place!  The architecture inside is amazing and It's a dream come true for hundreds of interesting compositions.  Alfie took me here the first time because he thought I would like it -- I think he regretted it later because I stayed so long to take too many photos!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Tokyo from the Air Wow this city is amazing.  I have to go back soon!I found one of the tallest buildings and scooted my way around inside until I found an elevator to the top.  On the way up, I was lucky to be on a glass elevator.  I was as shocked as you when I saw that soccer field on top of a building!  How cool!  I'd love to get up there and play around with those guys.  If you'd like to see the details there, or anywhere else, be sure to see the original sized version.  You can find that by following the photo to the Flickr site, clicking on "All Sizes" and then "Original".- 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.
A Bar with a View This is an incredible bar in that overlooks the amazing city of Tokyo.  The place was amazingly awesome, and I could see it becoming a major hangout if I lived in the city.  Then again, everywhere I went I could picture as a major hangout!  Can anyone figure out exactly where this was taken?  These little photo mysteries don't last long around here!- 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 Secret Spots in Tokyo  What an amazing place.  Now, knowing the crowd around here, you will be able to identify this secret spot in Tokyo.  I really thank everyone out there for being so kind and introducing me to these great spots for photography.  I feel quite lucky that when I travel, I have instant friends everywhere.  I can't believe it!  Anyway, the gentleman who ushered me into this incredible lair was Alfie.  Be sure to hit that link if you ever visit Tokyo and want to get some lessons WHILE seeing great places around the city.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
American Airlines at DFW I thought, to commemorate this entry on connecting people, that I'd include a photo of an airplane from one of the busiest airports in the world - DFW in Dallas. This is the same plane that I flew to Tokyo on just recently. It was shot from high above in the Admiral's Club. It was an awfully stormy day, and I was worried that maybe the flight wouldn't go off on time! We were delayed a few hours... but that gave me plenty of time to set up all my equipment in there like a dork!- 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.
