The Lotus Sunrise These delicate shapes are seen on a variety of temples all over southeast Asia, India, and other parts of the Far East.

Like the lotus, these should float above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. The shot was taken around 5 or 6 AM in the morning. While shooting, I was attended to by a small Cambodian girl that would bring me strong Vietnamese coffee whenever I ran out, which was often. I don't know where she would go to get it -- she would disappear off into the jungle and come walking calmly back every 15 minutes or so, smiling. - Trey Ratcliff Read more, including some info on my upcoming London photowalk (and vote on some locations for shots!) here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

Under the Ancient Skies Sometimes, an HDR image of a cool place can come out a little boring, even in an interesting place such as this. So, often times I will run the image through a black and white treatment (see my Silver Efex Pro Review). That tool is a lot of fun and can help take a boring photo and make it more interesting.As I begin the processing, I sometimes discover a photo is more about shape, line, and contrast than it is about color, light, and saturation. It's all still there, in all it's HDR glory, but the emphasis has had a bit of a correction.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
