Long Road in Montana This is the road I got stuck on after my 4-wheeler caught on fire. Now, of course, I had all my photography equipment with me... who wouldn't take a whole host of photo equipment on a 4-wheeler joyride? I don't know! I mean, you gotta be ready just in case the dang thing catches on fire! - Trey Ratcliff Read more, including some info on how to snag a Google+ invite, here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Four Horses It was one of those long summer afternoons when you are sure it must be 5 PM, and you check the clock and it's only 2 PM! You know these days. Anyway, I decided to pick up my camera and walk around the ranch in Yellowstone for a little while The stable area is always a target, rich environment, so I headed right over there to find these four horses lined up so nicely.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Jack Horner De-choppering This is another picture from that mysterious ranch in Montana that I hint at from time to time. The only way to get there is a 3 to 4 hour horse ride or to take a private helicopter over the Rockies... it descends into a secret green valley... something right out of Galt's Gulch.Every few days, new guests arrive and depart. And, on this day, the chopper brought in the great Jack Horner. He's one of those guys that's awesome and doesn't even try to be. He just is. Later that night, he gave a talk in front of everyone about some of his new discoveries in the world of dinosaurs. It turns out that Triceratops and Torosaurus are the same dinosaur! Cool. He had shown me research a year earlier at his underground (literally) lab in Montana that rests underneath the dinosaur museum. He had huge computer screens showing the bone histology, and how it changes as the dinosaurs age. Very interesting stuff.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Liftoff at the Ranch I ran out into the field to capture this just as the helicopter takes off after unloading another group of guests. The lighting and angle were perfect, so I was curious to see if I could catch the helicopter blade totally still. I did! A good experiment... note that many of my experiments fail... but this one worked out.And yes, obviously, this is an HDR from a single RAW.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Approaching the Ranch This photo is a new one from just on the north side of Yellowstone. I took it just after one of those afternoon thunderstorms that sometimes pass across the countryside. This path was made by many years of horse-drawn wagons. There's a ranch out this way, and motorized cars are forbidden... so it took a long time to make these tracks.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Storm Hitting the Barn It was about 3 in the afternoon and things were getting over-the-top warm. You know that feeling when the weather gets so uncomfortably warm that you expect something to happen soon? This feeling washed over me about 30 minutes before these violent clouds form to sweep over the Rocky Mountains towards the barn.The tripod was nearby, so I grabbed it to go outside and set up the easel. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this entry here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Tetons, Revisited This area is not too far from Yellowstone. Just outside of the south exit, there is a fairly short drive to this area of Wyoming. It's on the way to Jackson Hole. This is also an amazing place if you are into Bison. There are hundreds and hundred of bison in this area. A free one was roaming about while I took this. They're actually quite dangerous for something that looks like a giant silly stuffed animal. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Rainbow After the Storm All that's missing from this one is a unicorn. This is one reason I am excited about genetic engineering. I think that some odd-ball researcher is going to make a real unicorn one day... and everyone (well, MOST everyone) will love it. Hey future-unicorn-genetic-engineer, please contact me after you successfully bring one of these to term so I can take the first photo. That would be very cool. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this entry here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Horse in Window I can never decide if I enjoy naming photos or not! I think I enjoy it when I come up with a good name, and I don't like when I come up with a boring name. Let's take this one for example: "Horse in Window." I mean, how uncreative can I be? What's wrong with me?When I am editing photos, and the muse visits, I am like a man possessed. I can rip through a bunch of photos and make some nice little creations. But then I click "Save As...", and I just blank out on a name. I think the creative part of my brain for making photos is different than the part for naming things.I do enjoy writing, and I often find that the words flow easily. This bit of me seems disconnected from the photo-editing bit, though.There is a small slice of solace, I think, in considering the names of some of the great paintings from my impressionist heroes. They have names like "Girl in Field" and "Sun on Water". Not too exciting, but they do stand the test of time. But "Horse in Window"? I think not! - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at Trey Ratcliff's travel photography blog, Stuck in Customs.
