Big Sur Sunset
Last week I promised I would reveal the photo today that I took during the video above, and here it is.

I guess you can get the sense from that video how windy it was!  What a crazy day... I spent all afternoon and evening getting ready for this.  There was a decent amount of hiking, preparation, and walking-around to figure out the best place to stand.

Maybe the bad thing about that video is showing how easy it all appears to be...  in future videos, you may see some more of the problems that I face and how I deal with them.  In some ways, I think that is more real than something that appears to fairy-book perfect!

Tableau Vivant of California Dudes I've had a nice ten days or so here in California.  I started in LA, went up to San Francisco, then came back down here just before the Oscars.  My agent invited me to some fancy-schmancy party in Hollywood.  It was quite a problem to figure out what to wear to something like that.  I felt like a girl.  I mean, with the confused-about-what-to-wear thing...  this is not something I usually think that much about.It was interesting and fun.  I didn't even really fit in...  here's the basic conversation:  "Are you a director?"  No.  "Are you an actor?"  No.  "Oh, you must be a producer!?"  No.But that night, I ended up staying at the Hotel California.  I put a little photo there to the right... I found out I could check out any time I liked but...And for our California photo above, here's a bunch of guys that I guess have nothing better to do than walk around the beach all day with incredible bodies.  Since I don't have this, I can only rely on my personality, which frankly runs out after about five minutes.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Farewell Holland 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!This was taken my final evening in Holland.  I found a remote pastoral area with several olde world windmills.  I was the only one around...  I got fairly cold waiting for sunset, but I think it was worth it.I have a lot more pictures from around the Netherlands still unprocessed, but I look forward to sharing them with you in coming weeks.  I hope you enjoy this one.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Alone in Winter, Against the World...  This is one desolate place.It's the southern coast of Iceland where the sea and the wind were absolutely ripping their way past me and the lighthouse.  I always imagine what it is like to be inside of one of those lighthouses, all night long through the winter.  I can't even envision what that would be like, and after only a short time there in the icy wind, I got the willies and was happy to get out of there.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
