约瑟米蒂之树

依然喜欢Pinterest!

基本上我每天都会登陆Pinterest 找点新鲜东西。其中两成是标记自己的作品,八成转发别人的。我知道很多朋友都在这么做!如果你愿意的话,留下你的Pinterest页面地址,让朋友们找到你! :)

每日一瞥——约瑟米蒂之树

我算不上是探索约瑟米蒂的“专家”,其实自己只去过一次,很多同行都去过5次甚至10次了!上次旅程多数时间是驾车沿主路而行,有时也拐上小路探索一番。不过还真不知道哪里最值得去,于是便沿小溪而行,看到了下面这道风景。

印象中好像到过一个叫做“镜湖”( “Mirror Lake”)的地方。名字很抢眼,对吧?到了地方才知道,只是一个冰滩而已。郁闷了!他们真该按照景观的状态和规模为各个景点实时命名!要是有地方叫“脏冰破湖”,打死我也不会去。

漫步约瑟米蒂

你玩儿Tumblr吗?

如果你也玩,就在留言板放个链接,让朋友们可以找到你! :)

Tumblr页面升级

我的Tumblr页面得加点油啦!我很喜欢Tumblr,在上面看到不少好东西——至少我关注的那些朋友有很多好东东。

“Stuckincustoms”这个名字已经被抢注 (居然!!!)我只能换成 TreyRatcliffPhotos.tumblr.com。来找我玩吧!感谢Annie Werner 的鼓励与帮助! :)

每日一瞥——漫步约瑟米蒂

这张取自约瑟米蒂一处风景宜人的小径。安静而惬意,对吧!真的是这样!真郁闷,只能在林子里待一天……真想回去看看——尤其想看雪中的约瑟米蒂,肯定到处都是有趣的美景可以拍……可惜,现在即使知道那里下雪,赶过去也来不及了! :(

这还是上次约瑟米蒂摄影行期间拍的,大家玩得可尽兴了!

约瑟米蒂倒影

Stuck On Earth安卓版开发启动

下面的视频中,Robert Scoble大概回顾了一下Stuck On Earth( 免费的!www.stuckonearthapp.com ) 的诞生。好消息:我们终于启动了安卓版的开发。很多朋友都知道我也是安卓控,爱死了我的Nexus电话和平板电脑啊!:)

对于安卓版我满怀期待!什么时候完成?完成了就知道啦,哈哈哈哈哈哈哈!

 

每日一瞥——约瑟米蒂倒影

 

最近正和Karen Hutton以及很多朋友一起在新西兰。之前跟Karen一起来过下面图中的地方!我们跑了一处有一处水塘,才找到一处合适的倒映图。那会儿天气很冷……估计当时两人都想回到屋里暖暖地喝上一口!

我家挂着哪幅画?

970万分钟观看量!

说起来有点疯狂。我头回查下自己的YouTube状态,其实也没上传多少视频,不过现有的都很长。话说这一状态显示我的视频观看量已经达到了近1千万——太疯狂了!其实我在视频里也不是很搞笑,真的!又不是Flavor Flav神马的……

我家挂着哪幅画?

那天突然有人这么问我,那就不妨在这里列一列。其实家里的挂画经常换,其中不乏个人的得意之作。其中包括巴黎的一张新作,刚刚才在昆士城的WePrint印制完成。

我们的 ”Prints” 页面有更多细节可以查阅。你可以选订版样金属画, 每一幅只有50张,每张都有我的签名。另一个系列则便宜些,可以通过SmugMug portfolio订购。

以下是我家里挂着的几幅:

Mountains Forever During the Yosemite PhotoWalk, the sky was beyond belief for the first few nights.  The second half of the trip had fairly mundane skies.  So, I was happy I went out there and got a lot of shots in the beginning!I’m often optimistic about the “future” of the trip, assuming that the sunsets will always get better and better.  This rarely is the case, so I don’t know why I’m consistently optimistic about the prospects.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

Navigating Across the Rivers of New Zealand in the Morning Mists I woke up in the morning before everyone else to go on an extended scouting mission. I arrived around this river just as the morning mists were lifting enough to give me a view into the distance.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

The Bamboo Forest While exploring Kyoto, I eventually found my way to this fanciful bamboo forest.  There had been a light rain most of the morning and everything was quite lovely.  The rain does strange things as it moves its way through these sorts of trees.  I waited and waited, and that was nice too.  In the early afternoon, the rain stopped while the sun peeked through the top.  It shone down while the earlier rain misted down from the tops of the trees.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

The Gentle Path to the BeyondThe little train that carried me into Hakone started winding through misty mountains.  The trees were thick and a fog was rolling in.  I had a feeling that it would stay wet, moody, and fairly perfect.  It had that heaviness that made you feel like it would remain like that for a few days, and it did.  Before I get on train rides, I have a wonderful but dangerous habit of loading up with pastries.  Train stations seem to have nice little selections of all sorts of foreign twists on the usual subjects.  And, since I consider myself an explorer, I thought it would be good to get a TON of pastries and try them all.  It's very nice... sitting there... looking out the train window at a new land... rain falling... eating pastries...  (and I'm only a little ashamed to say that, upon arrival, my pastry bag was empty.)

每日一瞥——浪漫巴黎:梦幻埃菲尔

这是最近跟Tom Anderson一起拍摄的。狂风大雨,我们基本没怎么离开酒店,不过也一直在观察云象。  我们从巴黎歌剧院开始,然后搜索城市的其他角落。 这个时节巴黎的日落来得很早(大约下午5点前后),趁我们不注意悄悄溜走。

暴风过后有时可以见到最美的日落……所以如果你不介意潮湿,出去探个险还挺不错的。

约瑟米蒂冷调

 

哇!五十万关注!

感谢各位在Pinterest上给予的关注!这里送上我最喜欢的灵感板块,也许你会喜欢……有你中意的人物想关注?看看我关注的然后加些在你的列表上……貌似关注了好多法国的朋友啊!

老照片

总想起那些喜欢怀旧的朋友,扛着硕大的相机,不辞辛苦。他们会不会也想到我呢,拖着巨型的尼康,再架一台大电脑处理照片……有可能。或者希望将来我会这样回想从前的自己。

每日一瞥——约瑟米蒂冷调

黄石公园一行十分精彩。路途远,人员众多,这种活动我参加的很有限,不过确实很好玩!

当时应该是跟Karen Hutton, Thomas Hawk, 还有Robert Scoble在一起。线条与奇异的色彩组成了这幅美妙的图景……

约瑟米蒂下午时

 

Diablo III,有人玩儿否?

你的战网昵称叫什么?我在想,是不是跟别的社区战队的人一起玩儿也会很有意思?把你的信息留在下面吧,然后相互加一加好友!这里有很多强人——没错,这也是我的一大爱好!玩得时间也不是很多,不过我可以是钻研了一番的!

每日一瞥——约瑟米蒂下午时

在约瑟米蒂待了一周还多,感觉每天的光线都不太一样。中间一次雪也没有下,我有点郁闷。不过,有机会故地重游也不错!

即使现在有雪,我也没那么大热情了。试过的几副新手套都很垃圾。估计只有那种可以掀盖儿的手套——既算连指,同时又可以活动的那种才适合我吧。以前有一副,戴着超合适。结果还给弄丢了一只。现在另一只孤零零的,有点悲催……

日落约瑟米蒂

 

蟾蜍楼花园(英属维尔京群岛)

很多看过在线视频节目的朋友已经知道,我几周之前去过那里——总算是弄出个完整的视频让大家看个究竟。我的朋友Justin Troupe 向我推荐了这里,他也是这里主人家的好友。所以我做了这个小视频,方便大家探索。想看这里更多的风景美图,我在蟾蜍楼花园页面放了好多呢。

同时,如果你还是不尽兴,还可以浏览蟾蜍楼花园的官方网站Facebook页面

拿什么讲给你,新闻系学生?

几周前,受Robert Quigley邀请,我到德克萨斯州大学给一堂新闻课做了一场讲座。我说了一些自己的想法,还给了一些建议。不知道反应如何……不过这让我想到:现在给新闻专业学生到底该讲些什么?能给他们些什么样的建议?如果要爱迪生给一帮学做蜡烛的当地大学生讲课,他又会说些什么?

每日一瞥——日落约瑟米蒂

刚到约瑟米蒂的几日,我有幸捕捉到了拍照以来遇到最棒的日落。我独自开车从特纳亚旅馆出发,沿着长长的公路开到 Tunnel View。45分钟的蜿蜒车程,到处都是风景宜人的弯道。拍拍照、听听有声书,无比惬意。没过几分钟,太阳就会从层林中露个头,我就找个地方停车牌照。

Sunset over Forest in YosemiteI had the best sunsets on one of my first evenings in Yosemite.  I drove down a long road from the Tenaya Lodge to Tunnel View alone.  The road is about a 45-minute twisty set of curves that is perfect for scenery and listening to audiobooks.  Every few minutes , the sun would pop out from the forest cover, and I would hunt and peck for a place to pull over to get a clean shot.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

约瑟米蒂老林

 

Robert Scoble的约瑟米蒂视频

Scoble同我们一起参加了这次摄影行,还拍了些新鲜的视频,可能大家还没看过。那还等什么?

每日一瞥——约瑟米蒂老林

这次旅行真开心!

走在林间,到处都是一撮撮的人,搞得跟摄影行一样。一路上还得时不时招呼彼此躲在树后面,以免妨碍他人拍照。为了达到我想要的拍摄效果,我经常得攀上那些倒下的树干拍照。其实这样做挺不美观。不管多么熟练,总显得特别笨拙……

Old Forest in YosemiteWhen I was walking through this forest, we had a photowalk-of-sorts going on with a ton of people going here and there.  It was sort of Ewok-like with all the activity.  We’d all have to ask one another to hide behind trees and duck out of the way, since we were all criss-crossing our shots this way and that.  Often times, the shot I really wanted to get required me to clamber up and over big fallen trees.  There’s not really a graceful way to do this.  No matter how many times I do it, I continually look like I’m just barely keeping it together…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this entry at the Stuck in Customs blog.

冬晨老橡树

 

“西南偏南”G+奥斯丁摄影行:明日启动(500多人呢!)

到时见,带着家人来哟!啥相机都可以。

即将上演迪士尼巡航

马上我要迎来“迪士尼幻想”的首次巡航。无疑会非常精彩……之前没去过,所以非常期待。这条船本该比其它迪士尼的船要大四成,我的相机已经期待着大显身手了!对啦,事先说明,我和家人去都是自己掏腰包(省得有人又出来问),连折扣都没有!:)  只是小声明一下下,我只谈论(拍摄)自己感兴趣的东西,无论是不是自己掏钱。

每日一瞥——冬天晨日老橡树

清晨,我徒步穿过霜冻覆盖的草地来到这棵树跟前。这里的草长得细长旺盛,拱起了很多灰白的小邱。开路中,每迈一步,就会发出细小的嘎吱声,过后草地又弹回原状。然而湿气是那样轻冷,低头才发现,鞋外已经裹上了一层光滑的外衣。

我扛着广角镜来到老橡树下面,面向日出的方向。由于入谷太深,又等了3个小时太阳才露头。但是过程中一直都有阳光暧昧陪伴。

Oak on Winter SunriseI hiked through a frost-covered meadow in the morning to get up under this tree.  And it was one of those meadows with very long grasses that formed little frosty mounds.  They gave way with each step with the sound of a tiny crunch that spring back up after you pass.  But the moisture is so light and cool, it is not even noticed until you look down and see your shoes have a slick coating of their own.I then got up underneath this old oak tree with my wide-angle lens, aiming it in the direction of the rising sun.  Because I was so deep in the valley, the sun did not crest for another three hours, but the light dithered in different ways the whole time.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post, including some SXSW info, at the Stuck in Customs blog.

约瑟米蒂谷

 

壮景

我还在努力想明白所谓“壮景”的比较和评价标准。 你们怎么看?我还没仔细想,可貌似确实有些特征能将这种“壮景”与别的景色加以区分(它可能有自己的道理,没准儿很有趣哟):

  • 程度感——事物的远近,3D的纵深感。
  • 永恒感——也许是很久之前拍的照片,也许是最近,但时间无关紧要。
  • 老电影怀旧感——我也不确定自己什么意思,只是一种感觉……

每日一瞥——约瑟米蒂谷

首次约瑟米蒂之行其乐无穷。简直不敢相信,那只是几周前的事

黄石公园我前前后后去了十几次,所以如果不去一下约瑟米蒂就有点说不过去。黄石是很不错,但却缺少“壮景”——你懂的。

Yosemite Valley ViewMy first trip to Yosemite was so fun!I've been to Yellowstone about a dozen times, so it was strange never to have a trip to Yosemite under my belt.  Yellowstone is great and everything, but it lacks a few of these "epic" scenes, if you know what I mean.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest at the Stuck in Customs blog.

约瑟米蒂小教堂

 

Pat荐书

这期访谈请到了 Pat Rothfuss (右边那个),他是我最喜欢的作者之一。他开了一张推荐书单,我放在下面啦!

Rothfuss 访谈链接

每日一瞥——约瑟米蒂小教堂

置身于约瑟米蒂群山中间的草场,我完全没有想到能看到这样的教堂。

要等到合适的自然光线难度可不小。山谷中的光线射入很奇特。两岸是陡峭的绝壁,下午很早谷里就没了阳光。周围的一切变得朦胧起来,这是个拍照的好时机。
