每日一瞥——峡湾沿路高地行

冰岛的路通常都沿谷底而建。这里的这条路建在某座山的半山腰,正好方便我俯瞰。每走几英里,就可以见到一处老旧奇特的谷仓。它们在这样的地方经受风霜雨雪,构成一处处这样的景观。也许谷仓本身年头并不常,只是气候太过恶劣,使得它们显得过分沧桑。

广袤农场

 

特别活动

上一次在线授课期间,我提到几次特别活动。别担心,一切都还在计划当中。要把计划做周全还需要花点时间,最后拿出的成果肯定会很精彩!有更多消息以后再告诉大家……

每日一瞥——广袤农场

在冰岛驾车,窗外的一片片风景都如此壮阔!广袤辽阔之感已渗入到了每一寸土地。 连建筑也好像失去了时间感,新旧于你已分辨不清。

驾车经过这个满是各色农场的山谷,中间有一幢小农舍,当时我的感觉就是如此。

日落柔水

 

Photomatix 王道

很多人问我是不是还在用Photomatix.答案是:必须的!!!这里发布的所有照片都是经过Photomatix处理.如果你也想小试一把,可以参看Photomatix评论了解更多信息.

每日一瞥 – 日落柔水

每次来到冰岛北部这处小溪,它都像是完全没变过.我有些好奇,它有没有水涨水落的时候,还真的是一直都静静地流淌……

如果真的一直如此,我真想在此盖间房子呢!屋外水声潺潺,多惬意啊,对吧?

每日一瞥——阴郁瀑布

这里已经成为我最喜欢的偏僻瀑布之一!无论何时,一在这种地方拍照片,我总会花上大把的时间。同时总忍不住想象,万一掉下去怎么办……有多少方法可以活下来,如果水下有漩涡呢……还是跟在电影里一样,从水中一跃而出……

如果你去冰岛的阿库雷里(Akureyri)一带,我建议你来这个地方。要是胆子够大的话,那就学学我,那就爬到瀑布的一侧来瞧瞧。

劈岩直泻

四月结束啦!

时间都跑哪儿去了?!怎么可能感觉时间过得既快又慢呢?!这是一种神奇的双重性,让人既欣喜又迷惑……

每日一瞥——劈岩直泻

求更多瀑布!!!每次一拍瀑布,我都是这么想的。那时在冰岛,我在此地逗留了将近一天。结果人还没走,我已经开始惦记下一处了,还有下一处,下下一处……如此激烈却赏心悦目,多么奇妙的统一啊!

The Rock CleavedI need more waterfalls in my life! This is what I am thinking whenever I just finish taking photos of waterfalls. As I was walking away from this one in Iceland, where I spent most of the day, I was thinking about the next waterfall. Then the next one. Then the next one. I think it’s cool how something can be so violent and beautiful at the same time.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

每日一瞥——时间之始

这个周末大部分精力都花在处理这张照片。很多人问我:“处理照片通常要多久?”说不准,短则数分钟,多则好几天。当然不是一气呵成,有些处理起来难度很大,我得一次次地回来修改。

此处位于冰岛北部中心地带,到达那里可是冒了不少风险,我都不敢让我妈知道我到那儿。水冷?对的,冷得不行!

The Beginning of Time I spent most of a weekend working on this photo.  One common question is, "How long do these photos take?"  They take me anywhere from a few minutes to a few days.  It's not contiguous work, of course, but some are so challenging that I have to keep returning to them time and time again.This spot in northern central Iceland is a bit perilous to reach.  It's so perilous here at Godafoss, in fact, that I am glad my mom didn't see me getting into position.  Is the water cold?  Yes,  yes it is.- Trey RatcliffRead the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

100 Cameras in 1 for the iPad

Join our private testing group!

100 Cameras in 1 for the iPhone has been a huge success, so it gave us the chance to redesign everything from the ground up to take the experience to a new level for the iPad. And, well, with the upcoming iPad2, it’s gonna be even more awesome (even though it will also work on the existing iPads, especially since we notice a lot of people enjoy re-processing existing photos). I won’t say more than that now, but you can get a hint as to some of the varied goodies in the screenshots below.

Want to join the testing with us? Just leave a comment below, and I’ll randomly select people and contact you via the email you used (or FB) when leaving the comment. So, it’s just not all fun and games… you need to crank hard on the app, try to break it, send us feedback, bugs, and all that sort of thing to be a good tester.

Good luck!

The Week of HDR Tips continues!

Today is Tip #4: Let the Time Flow. It’s been a great week so far, yes? Yes. Rick Sammon and I are each providing a good tip to help you take your photography to the next level… I hope you are getting something out of it. I enjoyed putting these together!

I thought it was interesting that yesterday, people discovered inside the tip that the object in the middle of the arena was a dirt-zamboni. I guess I looked at it so long, that I figured everyone would get to that conclusion.. but interesting that the mystery worked even better than I suspected!

Daily Photo – Icelandic boy after building treehouse

When I stayed at Helga’s delightful farmhouse near a northern fjord in Iceland, her brother came over and brought his son. They built a treehouse in the backyard and filled it with all kinds of goodies — all in one day! The sun was low, as it always is there that time of year. He was running around, silently playing in the back yard. I thought his eyes were so other-worldly blue that I just had to take a photo.

This area was very close to the little town of Akureyri.  It took me about three visits to this place before I was able to pronounce it correctly.  I feel like a damned fool trying to say some of those Icelandic words!

The Impossible Mountains

New eBook from David DuChemin

David just released a new book about shooting in Venice that you might want to check out! Even if you are not going to Venice, he talks about how he took each and every shot… good data that is easily transferable to any situation. Besides that, he’s got a good selection of eBooks on there… maybe something will meet your fancy?

Daily Photo – The Impossible Mountains

I spent a wonderful day and night on a farm in the far north of Iceland with fellow photographers Helga Kvam and Völundur Jónsson. We went out to do some shooting together, and then they made me a fantastic meal… I took a bunch of photos of that event that I will post at a later time.

Völundur and I were discussing one particular mountain that was extremely difficult to photograph. I can’t pronounce the name since I can’t speak dolphin, but it’s about two hours outside of Akureyri. The mountain is very spiky and narrow, and it’s embedded in a very rough patch of peaks.

So I did my best to capture it in context. There are great super-hairy horses everywhere, and four of them were playing on one side of the river. I set up… and waited….waited….waited…. for them to get in the right spot and then finally took a photo.

This shot was taken around midnight. Incredible light for that time, eh?

Entering the Fjord

Upcoming Speaking Engagements

I just finished a fun one on Sunday night for the Austin Photography Group. It was a very enthusiastic crowd and I was happy to meet many of them and talk about HDR Photography. Here are some other upcoming ones.

  • Google – In early February, I was invited to come out to the Google HQ to give a talk for their Authors@Google program. I do not think that it is open to the public, but it will be recorded to be put online to be shared with everyone. I’ll let you know when it comes available!
  • Ignite Austin – Jan 13 – I believe this event is totally sold out, but you may still be able to get in… or show up and fight your way in!
  • Art Institute of Austin – Jan 14 – This sounds like a great group of people, and we’ll be able to get a bit more in depth into the artistic side of things.  Or, at least that is my hope!  I look forward to meeting you all! :)

Daily Photo – Entering the Fjord

Sometimes I get annoyed when I make a wrong turn, but not this time!  I was trying to find a remote place in the far northern part of Iceland, and I ended up going the wrong way.  Before I knew it, I was several miles deep into this fjord, but I could not bring myself to turn around.  It was too interesting and pretty!

The next day, I ended up finding the right way to go, but with white-out snow conditions, the road was sketchy.  VERY sketchy.  It was one of those situations where I was just inching along, scared witless, and giant trucks would occasionally blow by me at 60 km/h!  I was thinking… Jeez, these Icelanders are crazy!

A Church in the Snow

I was reminded of my time in Iceland because my friend Helga just tagged me in that 25 Things deal that is going around Facebook. I guess I have to do it now, eh? Helga, you have something to do for me too… a surprise for the readers here on the blog! So get on it…

In honor of that, I’ll post a photo from her home town, up in one of the northernmost fjords of Iceland in a small village called Akureyri. This is a little church that was sitting alone in the morning snow, after I woke up early to go out and do some exploration…

I’ll post that 25 things later today if I get around to it! :)
