Driving from Petaluma to Napa I've made this trip a few times, but it is usually in the morning and on the way from Napa to Petaluma. This is usually the situation because I stay at my mom's house before going over to do a show with Leo Laporte. This time, it was the opposite (well, kinda... I didn't sleep with Leo), but I did the show first then drove to Napa to have dinner with my mom.Tom was with me, and we were on a sharp lookout for a good sunset situation. While driving by this old barn, I saw a great opportunity, so we got out of the car to get all the equipment ready...- Trey RatcliffRead the rest of the post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The TWIT Network Mothership Table The studio is cool because they have a number of different "sets" there for different shows. This is the main round table where Leo Laporte does some of his biggest shows, like This Week in Tech, MacBreak Weekly, This Week in Google, and many others. He lets anyone in the area come sit in as a guest to watch the live production... and that's a lot of fun too because of all the geeky equipment around.On this particular day, my mom came to sit in the audience (after she got lost and needed Tony to go rescue her!). She brought a load of fudge with her and made everyone happy... she even got a hug from Leo :)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post, including info on tonight's show, at the Stuck in Customs blog.
TWIT Studio Several weeks ago I went to Petaluma to visit Leo to be on his show with Catherine Hall. We all had a great time together, as usual. I arrived beforehand to take a few photos of the studio while he was filming MacBreak Weekly with Alex Lindsey and Andy Ihnatko (another show worthy of a podcast subscription). Here’s the first one I wanted to share with you all.And get ready for an amazing show for Trey’s Variety Hour #20 tomorrow night… I’m planning something special!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Leo Laporte, Hard at Work This photo below is a 5-exposure HDR. It was shot with a Nikon D3X (see my Nikon D3X Review) in aperture priority. The five shots were at -2, -1, 0, +1, and +2. Of course, Leo was moving around betwixt the exposures, so there are some tricks to fix that. It's all there inside the free HDR Tutorial.But you don't need a big expensive camera like that to make HDRs. I have good/better/best suggestions on my HDR Camera recommendations page.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The TWIT Cottage For those of you that don’t know, Leo has established an incredible lineup of podcasts, all of which eminate from this unassuming cottage in Petaluma, California. I’ve been over to the cottage twice, and I grabbed a few photos on my most recent trip.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Heavy Industry in Petaluma Taking photos near ground-water can be very interesting. And hard! Getting near that puddle is tough because you have to splay out the tripod. Even worse, you gotta kneel down in the muck (since puddles usually involve nearby muck). But, these are all relatively high-grade problems, all in all ... - Trey Ratcliff The rest of this entry can be read here at stuckincustoms.com.
The River Through Petaluma A few days after the talk at Google (I think the Authors@Google *LINK to video are adding subtitles now, for those of you that have trouble hearing), I went up to Napa to visit my mom and my grandmother. Besides getting a bunch of homemade fudge (which I brought to the Stanford photowalk), I also stopped on the way back south in Petaluma at Leo Laporte's "cottage".I've always been a big fan of Leo's! Beside just seeing out of one eye (a strange bond I feel with him), I've really gotten a kick out of the way he approaches and discusses technology. In fact, I listen to his podcasts so much that my wife often says, "If I have to hear that Leo ONE MORE TIME, before jamming the radio to get off AUX to FM."Leo was in the middle of a podcast when I walked in to watch his operation in person. We didn't really get a chance to talk, but he was gracious and said hello quickly while in the middle of the broadcast. I think he's very clever with his media powerhouse there. I was fascinated seeing the operation -- everything from the logistics to the electronics - smart.His whole team was out in the front part of the college, and, while there, I also met Dr. Kiki (Dr. Kirsten Sanford is probably what it says on her degree). She was as nice as I expected as well - her show is called "Dr. Kiki's Science Hour" -- another nice podcast for your lineup!After leaving, I stopped in downtown Petaluma to grab some lunch and some internet. Whilst there, I went over one of the bridges to grab this shot. I don't know if the water is always this brown and muddy, but it certainly was this day!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
