Triangle of Fauna Sorry for the dumb name of this photo. I was feeling VERY lame when I made it up. Even here, into my third sentence, I still can’t come up with anything better. Either way, I hope you enjoy the photo!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Secret Room, Deep in the Abbey Once you make it all the way up to the monastery at Mont Saint Michel, you have to pay to get inside and take the self-guided tour. It’s totally worth it, and you’ll be amazed by all the various rooms that are scattered throughout the interior.While walking around, Tom told me that there is an Assassin’s Creed level that is based on this place. I need to find that so I can run around it the way I really wanted to!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de MontpellierWe passed this amazing cathedral a few times while walking around Montpellier. It looked great from almost any angle, and I really liked the lines and shapes. That was part of the reason I decided to go with this treatment.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A Night at the MuseumThis is one of the final photos I was able to squeeze off before the security guards nabbed me. Arg! I wanted to get so many more… but you know, you know… it’s the same old story.Anyway, if you ever visit Paris, you absolutely need to make it over here to the museum of natural history. It’s known to the locals, but not to visitors. All the other sites in Paris are great, of course… but if you have a penchant for science and a love of crazy interior design, this is the place for you!- Trey RatcliffRead the entire post over at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Zermatt in the Evening This is one of my favorite times of night while traveling. It's that blue dusk after a long day. I'm hungry and tired and just trying to capture a little bit more light before finding some food for the night.This is the town of Zermatt, a cozy little mountain village nestled up in the Alps. It's charming and filled with all the sorts of things you would hope would fill a little mountain town.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this entry 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.
Man Sketching in Uzès After spending the day walking around the old market, I started to walk back to where I started. Weaving through small alleys, I would occasionally enter larger courtyards. In one of them, I saw this man, sitting on a step, and sketching the scene. When I took the photo, he looked up and gave a little smile, then went back to his business. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Matterhorn For most of my life, I've generally only known the Matterhorn for the ride in Disneyland! I mean, I always knew it was a real mountain... and I've seen photos of it and stuff... but seeing it there in the middle of the Alps was really cool. I think I was lucky while here in Zermatt, Switzerland. I understand that it is often occluded by clouds, so this was a lucky day indeed! Zermatt was a really great little town -- I'd love to go back and spend some more time there! - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest, and some info on the new Silver Efx Pro, here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Alps in the Afternoon The more rugged the mountains, the better they look with a low angle of incidence of the light. Of course, they also look great in the middle of the day, but since the rugged peaks are in three dimensions, you get many extra angles of contrast when the sun is low. These kind of shots help me remember the fake symbology built up in my head of the shape-of-mountains. I got a bit of this when I was learning to draw... when drawing a human face, it takes a long time to get rid of that thing that is drilled into you as a kid -- that the eye is sort of the shape of a football. If you try to do that with a good drawing, it never works. And, it's sort of the same way with mountains. In my head, I still have to stop thinking of them as a rugged 2D line. It's thousands of 2D lines, crawling this way and that, but I can usually only see one of them. But, on late afternoons like this, you can start to see hundreds of more lines. - Trey Ratcliff Read more, including a post about why I don't watermark, here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
