Old Man on Steps near Drum Tower While I was circling the Drum Tower in Beijing, there was a small community of people that were outside exercising, milling around, talking, and watching the world go by. Many of the homes in the little houtong had their doors painted red, and that was a common element that tied everything together. I had my hip-shooter with me too so I could capture this one.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of the post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Nest I took this photo while I was outside another tower in the open air with Joe McNally. It was a great time.. It was also a bit scary.For this one, I took my 28-300 and turned it upright to portrait mode and zoomed in quite tight. I liked the way the layers of the city stacked upon one another into the distance, and that was lost in the wide-angle landscape mode.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post on the Stuck in Customs blog.
Father and Daughter in Beijing I was in one of my favorite artsy/bohemian areas of Beijing with my D3S doing some people-photography. It’s some of the best people-watching in the world around there.This area is full of all sorts of galleries, shops, curio-stores, antique shops, and other various unique Chinese shopping. The crowd ranges from the wildly artistic to families out on a little escapade. While I was weaving through the crowd myself, I spied this father and daughter walking in my direction…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Neo-Gypsy in the Desert I was walking across the playa at Burning Man with Tom when we came across this gypsy of sorts. She was kind of dancing through the desert eating a bag of chips. That was surreal and everything, but then it felt even stranger when she pulled out her iPhone to make a few notes about our meeting. She typed in stuckincustoms.com so she would be sure to visit when she got back to civilization.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Girl in Park in Beijing I was walking around a park in Beijing -- and it was quite unusual. It was a city park, but it had all sorts of rides like Disneyworld. Except, it wasn't really very good. It was quite dated and everything was spread out all over the place. To get from one attraction to the other, you had to walk for almost a mile along lonely pathways.There would be occasional clusters of people here and there, mysteriously milling about. Inside one of the clusters was this girl, so I grabbed a quick shot with my 50mm lens on the D3s. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest at the Stuck in Customs blog.
From The Top of the Great Wall Far in the north, this area of the Great Wall has been overgrown with vegetation. Birds and little creatures are all over the place. A path has been made over time, and it weaves in and out of these overgrown bits. The wall is so wide that it's sometimes easy to forget that you are standing on top of a huge structure.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Opposite Hotel What an amazing hotel in the heart of Beijing! Thank you all for the suggestion to go here... I love this kind of neo-modern-techno architecture, so it was a real treat to run around and take photos everywhere. I was like a man possessed :)This is the lower pool area. It was dark in there for sure. I used a tripod to make sure the exposure was long enough to get the effect I was going for.The video on the right is from another part of the hotel... up in my room... where you can see some cool things as well as what was in my bag.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read more, including an exciting announcement for Android fans, at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Bird’s Nest From Above I was at the top of this tower late one night in Beijing. It’s a cool tower (I don’t have a photo of it), but it’s the kind of tower that will look awful in about 10 years. Anyway, this photo is not about the tower.The famous Bird’s Nest stadium was spread out beneath me. When I saw this scene, I knew I was going to shave off the top and the bottom. The bottom was kind of interesting. The top was dreadful. It’s a bit painful to take a photo when I know I’m going to be cutting out so much, but I do it quite often anyway.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Ascending to the Temple at Night There is a temple atop a huge hill in Lijiang that has several "staging areas" for rest along the way. This is one of them. This is an area where I took a lot of photos of the old town below. That area is kind of behind me here in this photo, although that is hard to tell from this vantage. It is a good resting place to recharge your batteries before finishing the rest of the hike up the stairs to the top. There's also a little shop here that sells snacks and drinks... To me, a true adventurer never passes up a good snack. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
