午后老船

Lightroom乐翻天

你也许已经留意到,今天的照片有种“调调”——那是因为我用了最喜欢的老Trey Lightroom预设。再次感谢各位的反馈和意见……我正在为各位购买的朋友制作一款神秘礼物!:)

每日一瞥——午后老船

也许我来时正值观光期的低谷,很少见人在河里放船,河上经过的船只也很少,都一个连一个地在坞边绑着。我就有福啦,拍照轻松许多,免得打滑。对了,有机会来中国小镇的码头的话,如果看见路滑,很可能就真的是滑得站不住。这可都是经验之谈啊……

凤凰:喂鸡

小鸡快讯

家里除了新添了一只狗,最近我妻子又突发奇想弄了三只鸡回来。我们给它们造了一个温暖的家。废了半天劲,老婆却说房子另一边更合适。小鸡们也不怎么配合。如今15周过去啦,结果它们只下了三个蛋!老婆说它们还太小……真不知该拿这帮小家伙怎么办。

每日一瞥——凤凰:喂鸡

在凤凰的时候,我沿河溜达寻找着素材。有一条路直通那里,但我觉得可能迂回而行会有更多发现。中国好就好在它安全。在这里四处游览,我从不为人身安全担心。有时甚至安全得有点吓人——不过是褒义的吓人哈……

纵深中国

海魂三脚架

见过海军蒙眼组拆枪吗?现在我拿三脚架和相机也可以。虽然没有人家那么厉害,不过一个人时也经常这么干。习惯而已,反正我也总是自己拆装。渐渐地,它不再是繁琐的活计,而是思考的过程。

每日一瞥——纵深中国

驾车6小时纵深杭州一隅。渐渐地,山多了,幽静了。路不太好走,偶尔我会停车歇一歇。

一次下车,突然感到路上风景如画。老规矩——三脚架,咔嚓咔嚓……

背篓女孩儿

 

人像5贴士

这里送上一个博文链接,之前错过的的话就快来补读吧! :)

每日一瞥——背篓女孩儿

这种“冷门”地点是绝佳的摄影选择,当地人对西方来的摄影师都很友善。多数情况都饶有兴致地看着我们并报以微笑,对于相机所投以的关注也很受用。

微笑人像我拍得不多,我比较喜欢捕捉人们发现之前或之时的那些瞬间。不过咧,每拍一阵子,我都会来几下面部运动,这样大家都能放松点。

每日一瞥——卖花

那晚的凤凰湿润而凉爽,这种天气人们往往在纠结是该穿汗衫还是更凉快的衣裳。穿得多容易潮乎乎地不舒服,穿得少又容易感冒。

在街边我看到这位卖花的妇人。

凤凰小舟

 

加勒比租房

我想在四月给家人租套房子,住几周。有好的建议吗?

每日一瞥——凤凰小舟

凤凰古城,世外桃源,一个凉爽宁静的下午。一座古城,无数传奇。

古老的河流上,偶尔可以看到轻舟掠过身边。船家形形色色,然而很多人都戴着同样的帽子,穿着也有相似之处,仿佛时光发生了扭曲……

Boat in Feng HuangIt was a cool and calm afternoon in the ancient and impossible town of Feng Huang. It's an old town, wreathed in many legends.On the old river, you can occasionally see a boat passing here and there. The boatmen come in all shapes and sizes, but many wear the same hat and style. It is absolutely like a warp of time...- Trey RatcliffRead more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

古镇静水

你爱船么?

世上一定有爱船之人,醉心于那水中一叶并不时想着置身其中。可惜我不是同道中人,不知跟先辈当过海员有无关联。

每日一瞥—古镇静水

凤凰的清晨安详静谧。也许在这里人们也习惯晚睡晚起,所以清晨才没什么人
就是在这儿我摔了个大跟头,把肋骨伤得不轻。混凝土的路面上积着泥巴四处打滑,乍一眼又看不出来。一脚踩上去,则为时已晚。

四仰八叉地倒在地上,肋骨下面还咯着个尼康D3X,要多囧有多囧。现在想想都直后怕。

Still Waters in the Old TownFeng Huang in the morning is very peaceful.  It might even be one of those towns were a lot of people sleep late, since I didn't see many in the morning.  It was at this very spot that I bruised my ribs pretty bad when I fell down.  It was one of those slick mud-covered concrete areas that doesn't look like a slick mud-covered concrete area.  But once you step on, it's way too late to do anything about it.  There's nothing that knocks the wind out of you more than falling flat on your torso with a Nikon D3S between your ribs and the ground.  I still wince when I think about it!- Trey RatcliffRead the rest of this entry here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

小萝莉

Google+ 社区提示

想圈人?在 Stuck In Customs社区成员中找找吧!

每日一瞥——小萝莉

我照完照片才反应过来,其实全名应该叫:“天呐天呐,小萝莉要当街撒尿啦!!!”但是,人家没有,摆了个造型而已。她的裤子也很诡异——要么就是护腿之类的东西……反正有点歧义。她妈妈就在旁边,摆好桌子正在吃饭,还冲我笑笑,我拍照片她貌似也很高兴。要不就是乐我居然拍她女儿上厕所。说不清……

不过我的确见过许多孩子当街“就地解决”的,要么就是在人行道上,各种各样……我不是说大有人在,不过有时在人来人往的街上,还真有人在众目睽睽下“留记号”。

Adorable Chinese Girl  So, maybe the full title of this photo should be what I realized after I took the photo: "Adorable Chinese Girl OMG I Think She's About To Pee On The Street".   But she didn't.  She was just in that position.  And her pants are kinda funky.  Or maybe those are leg-warmers or something.  I don't know... it's all confusing.  Her mom was right by her, sitting on a set and eating rice.  She smiled at me, and was very excited when I was taking a photo.  Or maybe she was laughing because she thought it was funny I was trying to take a photo while her daughter was about to go to the bathroom.  I really can't say!But I did see lots of kids go to the bathroom in the street, on sidewalks, and this sort of thing.  Not all the time, mind you, but they would just drop their business right there in the middle of a busy sidewalk.  - Trey RatcliffRead more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

古桥漫步

 

你的穿衣文化风

你最喜欢哪个国家或者哪种文化风格的衣服?中国古代异域风?还是印度现代潮?奇装异服还是中规中矩?在我看来,大多数人喜欢的风格都与他们的生活环境相去甚远。离得越远越好,也就越有异域风情。还没告诉我你的喜好呢!

每日一瞥——古桥漫步

中国的一个小镇上有很多低矮的小桥横跨两岸。行船太浅,但适合垂钓洗衣。
此桥坐落于居住商业区。很多女人裙装鲜艳,在桥上穿梭,感觉宁静儿惬意。于是我便照了这张。

Walking Across the Old BridgeWhile in China, one of the small towns I visited had several little low walking-bridges across the river.  It was the sort of river that was too shallow for boats, but good for fishing and washing clothes.  This one was in a residential and commercial area.  Many of the women wore colorful dresses and walked back and forth across... it all seemed very nice and peaceful so I grabbed an image.- Trey RatcliffRead more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

对了,如果想在Google+找我,这是我的My Google页面

护照放哪儿?

出门旅行,你觉得护照放哪儿保险呢?现在我都放在牛仔裤或者大口袋短裤前面的口袋里。在中国的某知名酒店遭遇护照被盗后,我就再不敢把它留在房间了。有时我也用保险箱,不过太麻烦……就口袋里了!屁兜不保险,太容易被偷。我又不想跟个6岁的娃仔独自坐飞机一样挂在脖子上。

每日一瞥——夜宿凤凰

夜色渐浓,店铺与人家点上灯火,整个地方也更显诗意。四处看看,会看到四周渐渐亮起点点灯光,仿佛萤火虫夜晚出来嬉戏。

这里也是一样,有了小河流从中间流过,感觉更多了几分奇幻。太多的选择……去哪里吃?在哪里喝?去哪里照旅店夜宿?

Night Settles In Feung HuangThere is a general poetic peace when it begins to go dark outside and the town comes alight with shopkeepers and villagers come out to turn on the lights.  If you look around, you can see them popping on, one at a time, like little fireflies coming out to play for the evening.This area is no different, and it's made even more magical by the little river that flows through the middle of it all.  And then you are faced with all these nice decisions... where to eat?  where to drink?  where to find an inn for the night?  - Trey RatcliffRead more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

老水车

 

学生采访:Part 3

漫长的采访最算走到了尾声,这是最后一段了……

每日一瞥—— 老水车

一到凤凰,我就来到河边沿着两岸来回走,而且马上就被这座老水车所吸引。它那么古雅,以前古代的中国妇女在河岸洗衣,惬意得都能拍部电影了。看到周围美景,我决定把这里列上我的旅游清单,以后好故地重游——希望它到时不会改变。

The Deep Indigo Night

HDR Photo

Join me Live on Video on Mostly Photo Today!

Come to Live.TWIT.tv today at 1 PM PT (4 PM ET). We’ll be talking about photography and stuff, and more stuff like that.

Previous Videos

On the Videos page here on the site, I try to remember to link or embed previous videos, interviews, and all that sort of thing. Pop on over there, and you can see the previous episode of Mostly Photo that I was on where we talked about the following:

  • How to share your photos online (I give some philosophical advice in addition to logistical, practical advise)
  • Pricing your images and selling prints
  • Getting inspiration from other online photographers
  • SmugMug and how I use them  (see my full SmugMug Review here)

Thanks Om Malik and Mashable!

The new 100 Cameras in 1 with export-to-Instagram got some good press yesterday. Thank you to GigaOm and Mashable (and many others!) for the coverage.

Daily Photo – The Deep Indigo Night

Usually once it gets dark outside, I give it another half hour or so before I go restaurant-hunting. I like experimenting with new food while processing a few photos… It’s one of the greatest things… I usually have a table all by myself, and I get quite a large one so I can lay out all my stuff. I order all sorts of quirky foods, and I have a diet that would make Walter from Fringe happy.

But this night, there was so much strange ambient light that I decided to shoot for a few more hours. I worked my way up and down the waterside to find interesting sights. In these situations, I usually try to have at least one of my exposures be 30 seconds. That means the other four exposures are 15s, 8s, 4s, and 2s. That makes a good 59 seconds per session. I usually have my earphones on and I keep one finger on the tripod so I can feel the shutter click. I can tell immediately if my settings are off by the vibrations.
