The River Wild This is one of the rivers in Argentina that was uncrossable.I really wanted to get to the other side because I knew there were some angles. I hiked up and down both sides trying to see if there was some way to make it happen, but it was just impossible. Oh well! It was a pretty walk if nothing else...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read this entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Deep into the Jungle Mists I was many kilometers down this river away from the town. I got off my little boat to do some hiking up through the hills through the jungle. It was dense. Even when there was a little opening, it still felt like leaves and vines were pressing in on me. On occasion, I would see a wider break that let me see into the mysterious beyond.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Zurich at Night It was a cool night -- one of those nights when I was glad I lugged around a jacket all day. These dark waters that run through old European cities at night set an interesting mood. I can't quite put my finger on it... heavy and deep and dark... but strange and light and reflective on top. I think some of these things you can't quite see end up in the photo, somehow. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Delicate Ice in Spring - Trey Ratcliff After dinner one evening in Ísafjörður, I drove through a nearby town and up into the mountains. Along the road, I noticed an iced-over river that was beginning to thaw in a few areas. I pulled over, and scrambled down the hill to set up for a shot.I tried this both with and without an ND filter. The ND filter didn’t add anything to the shot except for a lot of pain! The light was low enough where a small aperture could get the feeling of the river through the hole in the ice…- Trey RatcliffRead more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Red Boat in Fjord Before Storm Usually once it gets dark outside, I give it another half hour or so before I go restaurant-hunting. I like experimenting with new food while processing a few photos... It's one of the greatest things... I usually have a table all by myself, and I get quite a large one so I can lay out all my stuff. I order all sorts of quirky foods, and I have a diet that would make Walter from Fringe happy.But this night, there was so much strange ambient light that I decided to shoot for a few more hours. I worked my way up and down the waterside to find interesting sights. In these situations, I usually try to have at least one of my exposures be 30 seconds. That means the other four exposures are 15s, 8s, 4s, and 2s. That makes a good 59 seconds per session. I usually have my earphones on and I keep one finger on the tripod so I can feel the shutter click. I can tell immediately if my settings are off by the vibrations.- Trey RatcliffRead more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Unknown Land After a while, my boat driver thought I was insane. We started before the sunrise and kept going, and going, and going, and going... he kept giving me the international head movement for "we really should be returning for a spot of tea," but I kept motioning him further up the river.To me, the river got most interesting when we saw no more people, except for the occasional fisherman that still had remote hut for his family along the river. I had plenty of battery power, amazing music on my iPod, a full array of snacks, a ton of drinks, and nothing to do for the rest of the day and night... so I was perfectly content just going until our gas tank reached 50%. And that took a long time... and who would want to stop with views like this around every other turn?- Trey RatcliffRead more, including some exciting news about our YouTube channel, here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Bund in the Rain This is shot from the old British part of Shanghai called the Bund. The rain was bitter rough that night and I was on the roof, but I managed to get in position and stay dry enough (for a moment) for this one.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Homes by the river in Indonesia The density of the homes was remarkable, everyone right on top of the next. We walked down through the little houses and got a hundred good shots… each one was brightly and individually painted and festooned. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The River that Ran Through Lyon at Midnight I walked around Lyon at midnight with a Russian friend. He saw me walking with my camera attached to my tripod and the strap hanging down. He winced, saying he saw one of his friend's cameras just drop off the head and crash to the ground. He forced me to wrap the strap around the tripod just in case... and I still do that to this day, thinking about is disapproving Russian scowl. I don't need to see that it my mind's eye...Trey's Tip: I like HDR for many reasons. In this case, I really like how it ghosted he water and made it look quite painterly.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

Zurich at Night


It was a cool night -- one of those nights when I was glad I lugged around a jacket all day.

These dark waters that run through old European cities at night set an interesting mood. I can't quite put my finger on it... heavy and deep and dark... but strange and light and reflective on top. I think some of these things you can't quite see end up in the photo, somehow.
