Really great looking photos

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

I have been a fan of Trey Ratcliff (more info) work for some time now and it looks like he now recently had set up his own blog to post some of his latest work. His web site Stuck in Customs gives you a unique photos from his travels around the world. He also uses some really great photography tricks such as creating High Dynamic Range (HDR) photographs.

Below are some photos that he allows to be posted as long as credit is given and below that I highly recommend checking out his personal blog, flickr account and maybe even buying a print.

Funny Sports Photos

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

Just a quick little post today about some funny sports photos that I found on this link. Some of them I have to think where photoshopped but who knows with the huge amount of sport events year after year some things are bound to get caught on camera. My favorite which doesn’t look real is this one. funny_sport_photo_08.jpg

Mission Control We have a Problem

You know I have this great friend who will remain anonymous, but hes into collecting remote controls and while I was over at his house the other day I had to take a snap shot of this gathering of remotes.

I count 8 in this photo but I know he has another 3 hiding somewhere :) Now the thing is that all of these are in use in some form or fashion but I think we need to take up a collection to get him the Logitech® Harmony® 1000 uber remote control all in one, it even gets you beer.



Ok last part is a joke but would be great, maybe we can rig it up to the beer launching fridge (see video)

One Night in Bangkok

Originally uploaded by Stuck in Customs.

Someone sent me this link the other day since they knew I liked HDR photos (high dynamic range). This one guy really seems to amaze me on the quality of his work, I’m sure their are some tweaks in photoshop but non the less his stuff is deff worth looking at. Check out more on his flickr account or head to his site Stuck in Customs.

This is odd, cheater in action? :P

You have new Picture Mail!

While playing poker last night, I took a photo of the cards, don’t ask, i a shutter bug so I always have my camera phone or real camera out taking pics. After waking up today to my surprise the photo I took out caught a cheater in action or the cheaters ghost buddy.

In in all seriousness I thought this pic was sorta neat and im not 100% sure what happened, but it looks pretty interesting.

Cocaine Cowboys Movie

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

Just watched a new documentary movie based on the real cocaine traffickers and dealers back in the 70′s/80′s from Miami. This film was an excellent incite into a lot of what happened back then and who the real dealers where.

The city of Miami was both torn apart and also built upon drug money as this documentary points out. The film takes hours and hours of real tv footage, news reels, and accounts from some of the dealers them selves (I guess they already served their time and can speak about it).

san francisco exploratorium outside

Originally uploaded by Gate-Way.

Was out in san francisco taking some photos after a few days of rain, here is yet another geo photo, which is a way to write the long/lat to your jpeg files and services like flickr and others will map your photo for you. You can check out my photos section as well for more.
Click on the image which takes you to flicker, under the image you will see links that will display where the photo was taken (google earth, maps, satellite, topo, etc)
