Under the Docks in California Some of you remember the great photowalk we had down in San Clemente.  I really had a good time there.  On my photowalks, typically I stop from time to time and tell the assembled crowd what I am doing.  Well, I finally got a chance to process this quintet!I felt fortunate to have a good friend that had an amazing condo that overlooked this same beach.  Frankly, after a long day and night of shooting, I felt spoiled and happy just taking a few more steps to my pad...  grabbing some cool drinks... opening the patio doors to listen to the surf... good times!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Dock to Forever One of the advantages of going down all the side roads is that you get to find cool places!  After leaving Nelson on the South Island, we found a little lake on the map that looked about perfect.  After a few hours of meandering, we discovered this place was almost completely empty (just like every place else on the South Island!).  Even better, there was a perfect little dock jutting out into the lake.I first took a bunch of shots with my 14-24mm lens...  but it was not really getting the dock with the distant valley in the right way.  So, I put on my 70-200mm, zoomed in almost all the way, then backed up quite a bit to get the compression effect of the valley.  Remind me to post the other version someday so you can see the comparison!  I haven't processed it yet -- but it is in my "Pile to Process" -- which is now 22,000 strong.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
