The Bamboo Forest and some great Twitter Lists to follow
Some Twitter Lists for You!
BTW, I’m @TreyRatcliff on Twitter!
As you guys know, I’ve been using Twitter for the past 27 years or so. Over that time, I’ve built up a good list of people to follow. Now, I can share this list and more very easily with you. When you visit the links below, you can “Follow” the list. Or, you can also go through and follow the individuals. Any questions? Just ask below!
- Art for the Right Brain – Here is a collection of artists, designers, illustrators, and the like that I find inspirational. I didn’t really add any photographers to this list… *Make Recommendations here!
- Stuck In Customs Community – This is a list of everyone around here! This is a great “channel” to listen into to hear everything that’s going on with all of us! If you ever need advice, have questions, or just want to share, be sure to follow the people inside and talk it up… that’s what Twitter is for! *Add yourself and make recommendations here! (yes it is totally cool to recommend yourself!)
- Trey Ratcliff Curated Art – a collection of inspiration art to keep you going.
- Interesting Science – Are you into science like me? Here is a collection of interesting scientists I have found on Twitter. *Make Recommendations here!
- Art Museums to Know – Did you know there are Museums on twitter too? They talk about new exhibits,visiting artists, special events, and the like. *Make Recommendations here!
- Funny Twitter Heads – A collection of very funny people on Twitter. If you are easily offended… don’t look! *Make Recommendations here!
- Wow – Nice Tweets! – A random assortment of people that I follow that send out all kinds of interesting Tweets on this and that. *Make Recommendations here!
Do the good people on here a favor. Follow the list, and then go through and follow some of the most interesting individuals inside. Twitter is better once you build your own personalized list, and this will be a really good injection of inspiration into your world, I hope!
How to Use Tweetdeck
I made a video to show you how to use Tweetdeck to stay connected to members of the Stuck In Customs community!
To get your setup, do the following
- Watch the video below
- Here is the text to copy for the community: http://twitter.com/TreyRatcliff/stuckincustoms-community
- If you want to get on the community list, *Add yourself and make recommendations here! (yes it is totally cool to recommend yourself!)
Other suggestions for Tweetdeck:
- Whatever interests you, make a “Search” column for it. For example, my mom loves “General Hospital”, so I made a new Tweetdeck column for her with it. Now, whenever anyone on twitter mentions something about General Hospital, she is the first to know!
- Turn off the annoying sounds and the little popup notifier under the settings. For me, it gets to be too much to constantly see updates!
After you follow the lists and some people therein…
Then you can then easily switch to that “channel” in Twitter to see the latest. Also, very soon you’ll be able to add that List as a Column in Tweetdeck, a program I highly recommend. As soon as they enable this, I’ll come update this post!
And, of course, be sure to tell your friends the fun of lists, especially those new to Twitter. If people start out by getting good links with nice art and funny comments, it makes it a much better experience from the beginning!
Daly Photo – The Bamboo Forest
Today’s daily photo was taken while exploring the wilds outside of Kyoto a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful place! The walk took me into this giant bamboo forest. After strolling through it for a short eternity, I set up for shot. This is a standard 5-exposure HDR; it was shot with a 14-24mm lens. For those of you new to the site, you can find out more about my process in the HDR Tutorial.
Wow, well worth the trip out. And again nice shot. Have to start really thinking about the setup of my shots. Inspirational, as always.
hehe John – it is funny how we keep going to the same places together!
Beautiful work Trey.
I can see myself getting lost there, too.
Nice work as always. Congratulations also on the time travel – 27 years on Twitter is really remarkable
Wow, 27 YEARS on twitter. That’s amazing!
You were way ahead of eveyrone! Great blog picture today Trey, as usual!
A cathedral of trees. Beautiful
I’ve got to say, this one is one of my favorites I’ve seen! I love the transition of color from the bottom up and the very smooth greens. Awesome photo!
I am looking for a dslr and I was wondering if you have had any experience with the d80.Is the thumb pad annoying? Thanks in advance, John.
Wonderful spot to wander in, Trey!! Great picture. Wow, I didn’t know twitter has been around that long. I didn’t join twitter as I have enough in my life going on already, lol. Have fun, those who do. Thanks for sharing!!! Have a great day!
HI! I’ve just came across your blog and I’m absolutely delighted!
Already in my fav’s bar for a daily look up…
Thank you for your great work!
Keep going…
Congrats from Ge in Lisbon, Portugal
Thanks!
Mark – yes it is one of my favorites too. I even put it on my own desktop !!
hehe
John – I have not used the D80 I am afraid. I do have a “Digitial SLR Recommendations” area there on the right, though
Gail – hehe – I understand… maybe some day! Actually, many people get on Twitter because it can “reduce” clutter by having you only follow a few things rather than a million!
Ge – Thanks… I’d love to come to Portugal some day!
Really nice work on that shot. Love the angle and the processing.
I love this photo. The green light and the spots of sun coming through the tree roof is wonderful. The wide angle view sucks me into the photo. One of my favorites in this blog. (The image partly reminds me about the Flying Dagger movie.) Cheers, Albert
Beautiful shot Trey. I very much appreciate the aftermath work, esp the sunlight shining is brought out exceptionally well without spoiling the shot but it rather adds beauty to the shot.
Oh wow! This is soooo beautiful Trey – what a super place to visit! Love it!
@Trey:
Thanks anyway.
Excellent! Another example of why I started liking HDR again (didn’t care for the overdone stuff I had been seeing when initially introduced to HDR and had written it off).
You can really imagine getting lost and submersed in the beauty and tranquility of this place, I think little other photographic techniques would do this scene justice, really where HDR runs ahead.
Those Twitter lists are really rather good, I quite like the right-side of the brain list; good for looking at other artists and creatives works and experiments.
Thanks!
Jack – glad you like those lists — If you find some, please give some recommendations too!
This one is brilliant!
Fantastic angle. Was this shot with ur wide angle lens?
Wow this is beautiful!
oh my god! your photos are so perfect! Your blog is for sure between my favorite!

Trey,
Does your HDR book give the camera settings and lens for the images shown?
If it does it would be a nice reference for those like me that are newbies in photography to understand the fundamentals of lighting and such. If it did I’m buying it.
…wow, amazing, are you the “superman” we are looking for? Thank you!!
This is stunning – love it!
WOW – Looking upwards to the top of the bamboo makes me feel dizzy, just like if I was at that place. You’re amazing.
Brilliant. I love it.
