Electric LA at Night I took this a few nights ago in Los Angeles. I’ve always wanted to get a good shot of the downtown action, and Stuck On Earth helped me get it.Luckily, I saw a few hints of this kind of a shot from other photographers that had geotagged shots in the area. I went out there with Tom Anderson and we spent a few hours exploring the area. We got countless great shots and this was the first one I processed.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The New Austin I don't think I can do a better job of a writeup than many of the other attendees, so here's just a quick recap. We began the PhotoWalk by walking down 6th street down towards Momo's, where we met Leo Laporte and Lisa Bettany for a quick hello. After that, we weaved through the streets together, talking about all sorts of things. I also made about five other stops where I talked through my setup and my shots. On my final shot, we were working our way back towards The Driskill when I took set up for the scene below.It was a standard HDR with five exposures. I was having some trouble grabbing an autofocus spot, so I just went to manual focus just to be sure the lens didn't try to re-focus on the multiple exposures.Thanks again to everyone that came out! It was great getting to know you during the walk, and after the walk back at The Driskill.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A Night with Harley These bikes are really a fun subject for photography. I get excited every time I head out for one of these events. There are so many styles, customizations, and characters behind them... you never see the same thing twice. Setting up for these photos is also somewhat of a fun challenge. Getting the right "background" is very important to me... sometimes it just does not work out, so I have to move on and leave a pretty bike alone. The other thing about these bikes, which you don't realize until you take thousands of photos of them, is that you probably only have a 12.5% chance of getting a good composition and background. I break it down thusly: Read the breakdown and some info on wide-angle lenses at the Stuck in Customs blog!
Flying on a Harley This is the subject of one of the other new videos in the newsletter. It speaks to a common problem many people have when uploading photos online. Sometimes, I've noticed, they don't look the same on Flickr as the do on my home computer! That's no good... I figured out the best way to do it and put it in a little video for you. You can get to it here at the ColorSpace Video- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Zipping Through Tokyo I think it rained almost every day I was in Tokyo, but that's just fine with me. It gives you all these "Black Rain" conditions, and makes the place twice as moody as it already was. I walked through Rappongi one evening to find a secret Italian restaurant. I ended up having to cross the road so many times on these overpasses, that I finally decided to stop and take a photo of the action underneath.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Batmobile Everyone likes the Batmobile yes? It's especially cool when you see one on the side of the road in Texas that some comic-book redneck has souped up to be something that is on the edge of street-legal. I jumped out quick to grab a shot before the owner could come out and hit me with some sort of a 2x4, which I only assumed me might be carrying. Actually, you never know... around Austin it's just as likely to be a doctor or lawyer (assuming one of those two to be an honorable, upstanding profession!(also notice the nice only-in-Texas trailer hitch on the back)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Flying on a Harley This was shot in downtown Austin during the recent ROT Biker Rally. This guy was flying by at about 20 MPH down 6th street.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Flux Capacitor Here is the awesome Liger bike they wish they had. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Rush Hour If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!The HDR technique is fantastic for night shots of cities. You would think that you could simply open up the shutter for a long time and let the light stream in. Well, you can do that, but what usually happens is that some parts are over exposed while others are not quite bright enough. Each of those lights down there in the busy city streets of Seoul, Korea, have different intensities. The lights from the offices are quite dim compared to the signs on the buildings and even the taillights on the cars. The HDR process allows each of the lights to come through at an acceptable level.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
