Another set-up from Gavin Hoey's excellent Glass tutorial on OlympusUK's Facebook Live.
I bought four differentlycoloured little glasses ages ago in a charity shop, and still love their elegant lines. Don't think I've ever drunk out of them, they'd be ideal for port at Christmas!
I'm tempted to put these in the camera club Challenge Group for Reflections, as these are reflecting the black flags placed either side! Will have to remove one entry though :-)
We'll be doing our Facebook Live show today from the Vogel Street Cafe in Dunedin! 7 PM PT, 10 PM ET for the live Q&A show! One hour before that, we'll be releasing Episode TWO of the new series at ift.tt/1MgQSx0 ! See you soon... Oh, and here's the FB Group where you can join in the fun! ift.tt/1V1rmDS As for this photo... this is from a rather frigid day at Yosemite! via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
I feel very lucky to be a part of the Olympus community and during lockdown the staff did their level best to keep us motivated and entertained, some of their Facebook live events were hilarious if not always intentionally so. I was part of a coffee morning group where we chatted about all things photographic and this Sunday we had our first "in person" meet up at the British Wildlife Centre, what a treat, the red squirrels were a firm favourite of us all!
It was also the perfect place to try out my new whopper of a lens, the Olympus 150-400 f4.5 tc1.25x IS Pro. Let me just say, it didn't disappoint!
The galactic center of our Milky Way rises high above the Point Halswell Lighthouse in Wellington, New Zealand. The night I shot this was really windy and difficult conditions to photograph in, but I did manage to do a Facebook live broadcast of the shoot which you can find here: ift.tt/2aFDBaQ

After a fantastic Facebook Live tutorial with Gavin Hoey, I was lucky enough to find a bottle of sparkling water in the other fridge (OK it's for catfood and booze) left over from I don't know when.
Oliver's crayons were pressed into action, and this is what I finally came up with...
Flash on the right, reflector on the left.

Looking forward to going back to the Caribbean in January — taking a fun family trip there! Oh, and if you have any questions about travel blogging, I’m about to do a live show in an hour on Facebook Live with Liz Carlson — should be a fun one! via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
Last evening me and mine went to the Grand Theatre, Swansea to see Bronwen Lewis – who you might ask ?
She’s I suppose you could call it , “A local girl done good “. From the Web : A young bilingual singer-songwriter from the South Wales valleys, Bronwen comes from a very creative and musical family. She sang the soundtrack theme song ‘Bread and Roses’ to the BAFTA winning film ‘Pride’ “
I first got to know about her via a Facebook live performance but prior to that during Lockdown she sang from her living room on Tik Tok which set her career off big time.
These two mugs were part of the merchandise that was on sale in the foyer. “Perffaith “is the song by Ed Sheeran , namely Perfect which she translated herself and sings it in Welsh, whilst “Ti a fi ‘ meaning, “You and me” is one that she wrote specifically about her grandparents.
If you want to be blown away as much I was last night then take a listen to her back in 2013 on The Voice.
I have rearranged the furniture in my living room and discovered Deep Dream Generator.
Photo taken and processed for Our Daily Challenge: Yes, we can.
And for 120 picture in 2020 #72 Mine, all mine.
And for Sliders Sunday. HSS everyone!
I've also mastered Zoom meeting attendance and interacting with Facebook live virtual church services. But no photos of these until tomorrow.
Here's amazing Larnach Castle just after the sun was setting. The team came up and slept here for a few nights in anticipation of the the early morning quadcopter Live-to-Facebook flight! We took a moment out of our planning to wander into the gardens with wine and chocolate to get some photos. It was a fun night for sure :) Here is more about that early morning drone-to-Facebook Live flight on my FB page at ift.tt/1QyRtPD via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
We're starting the photo walk soon right here by the Red Square in Moscow out front of The Ritz-Carlton. Here's a photo I recently took from the rooftop bar here. I've ALWAYS wanted to come to Russia... just been such a mysterious place to me, growing up in the 80's and stuff. All I know about Russia comes from Reddit, so I assume everyone here is as crazy as a bag of hammers and I'm really excited about that. Wait till you see some of the things I saw today... whoa I don't even know how to describe it. Anyway, we'll try to do a Facebook Live from the Red Square as we get going... not really sure what the laws are or anything. But the best thing about going to jail is you always get to make new friends.
Want a photo critiqued tomorrow during our Facebook live show? Pop over to our Facebook Group at ift.tt/1V1rmDS and see the post that is pinned up at the top there. Just drop your photo in the comments to that pinned thread and I'll do my best to get to it! :) Those of you that are inside The Arcanum ( www.TheArcanum.com ) already get critiques every 5 levels, so this is just kind of a one-off thing for everyone :) via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
Public Service Announcement from Trey, regarding moving Google+ activity to my private Facebook group for creatives at www.facebook.com/groups/BecomingAnArtist !
Well, it looks like one of our favorite playgrounds, G+, is getting the wrecking hammer. We had a great run! I met a lot of amazing people and it helped to spur a lot of creativity for not just for me, but for a whole new swath of creatives.
I feel like the team at Google abandoned us a long time ago, and this really whittled away at any good will we had. It could have been a great alternative to Facebook. Heck, they could have even pivoted and made it more like Instagram. After all, like 80% of the market already has an Android phone. They could have integrated it into the regular photos/camera app so it's part of the default OS. That seemed like an obvious pivot to me.
Anyway, none of it matters now. It turned out to be largely a waste of time for not only the users that fueled the machine, but also many of the clever engineers that built it.
It seems like a great time to invite you over to our Very Active Facebook Group called "Becoming an Artist - Trey's Funky Lounge" at www.facebook.com/groups/BecomingAnArtist
I know some of you HATE HATE HATE Facebook and aren't afraid to tell everyone, and hey, that's coo that's coo. I have other follow options below.
It's a great group of new and experienced photographers and creatives! We do giveaways, critiques, tutorial videos, and more! Plus, everyone in there is super-nice, so it's a safe place for you to share your creations and get/give feedback. One thing I do ask, if I may be so bold, is to comment on all the photos that you find interesting. People love getting feedback, and this is a great place to do it.
As for my Facebook page, go to www.facebook.com/treyratcliff and then "Like" it, IMPORTANT: under "Follow" select "See First." This is a way to get around Facebook's algorithm that will hide stuff you really want to see. That page is another where I do fun giveaways, Facebook Live events, critiques, and more. It's also cool because I have my awesome team there to help answer any questions you might have, 24 hours a day!

A few nights ago in the wine cellar of Huka Lodge, we had a gin tasting with a master sommelier. What a cool guy and what a unique experience!
He kept all the gins a secret until the end and made us guess. We missed every single one and there were many exotic ones, but the only one I recognized what Lighthouse. He had all kinds of opinions on the right way to have it and what kind of tonic water to use. I told him I thought all tonic water tasted the same and he politely guffawed. He also refuses to put ice in his G&T saying it waters it down. “Do you put ice in your wine good man?” No, he had me there. But my friend Scott Kublin put sugar cubes in his zinfandel.
This is a photo I took right before the tasting… this is just part of the 5,000 bottle wine cellar. So awesome!

Here's Christmas in Georgetown, Texas! They have some nice decorations around the old courthouse. We did a fun Facebook Live show here too where I talked about how I set up the photo and that sort of thing. I joked that they only do public hangings here a few times a week... then after the show I walked around to the other side and there was this big brass "Historical Marker" sign that was all about the Ku Klux Klan. Anyway, this was a 3-shot HDR processed with Aurora HDR 2017! #Aurora #Christmas #HDR #AuroraHDR #Georgetown #Christmastree via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
So the Addams team and us decided to make a new collaboration, this time inspired on the last campaign Beyoncé did with Adidas. We, of course, made it our own way so it would still to stay loyal to our own style. Kiara is a super long, finger combed hairstyle thats pushed to the side to give that effortless put together vibe. As usual, with three head sizes and two breast ones BUT, since the M size is the most used, we decided to do a small chest for that one head sizes as well. Addams went crazy and did a whole outfit which includes cargo pants, a skirt, a tie jacket ,a long sleeve top and also zipper boots, with millions of color combinations!
Hope you guys like this and come by to try a demo on! Remember you can find this hair at our regular mainstore, the Addams Plaza and also on the Addams mainstore.
Oh and I will probably do a Facebook live in a couple hours to chat a little bit with you guys, love you all ♥
Someone told me that Huka Falls is the #1 most visited tourist attraction in New Zealand. Is that possible? I suppose maybe so… It is pretty awesome. I guess one reason it surprises me is because it's a multiple-hour drive from Auckland and not exactly convenient when it comes to time. I would think Hobbiton Movie Set or something like that would be #1, but what do I know? Not much apparently!

Having a great time here in Budapest and excited about our photo walk tonight starting at +The Ritz-Carlton .. See you soon, and we'll be doing a Facebook Live from the pre-party and the actual event too.
I'm about to give an art talk at The Hills country club here in New Zealand and we'll be broadcasting on Facebook Live at the same time. Among other things, I'll talk about taking my family across India on a train, where I got this photo of my two little girls. So, tune in about 7:45 PM New Zealand time (12:45 AM PST), and ask any questions you might have. I'll be sure to get to them after the broadcast.
This was one of my scariest quad flights ever! I was staying up at the Huka Lodge which is so far up that river you can just BARELY see it. See those little bits of white up there? One of this is probably me, pale white with fear. Something about taking the quad over a waterfall is terrifying. I started to lose transmission power too at this distance… I was getting lots of beeps and bloops in the controller which added to the stress even more! Anyway, I ended up with this pretty cool vertirama that turned out pretty good… I was just so happy to bring the bird home and land it.

Olympus UK have been fantastic on social media during Lockdown providing lots of inspirational videos. I caught up on Gavin Hoey's Facebook Live from Friday when he was photographing coloured pencils and watched again Clare Harvey-May's video tip on reflections. Having recently acquired a black mirror tile, it made sense to combine the two. Eh voila, a coloured pencil pyramid reflected. #89 pyramid for the group challenge 120 pictures in 2020
During a formal ceremony called a consistory, Pope Francis (right) raised Wilton Daniel Gregory (left) —Archbishop of Washington, D.C. (and past Archbishop of Atlanta, from 2005 to 2019)— to the rank of Cardinal. Archbishop Gregory is now the first African American ever to serve as a Catholic Cardinal.

▶ Notice the COVID-19 masks (if not on the Pope). Notice the cool hats:
☞ Archbishop Gregory wears a biretta.
☞ Pope Francis wears a mitre.
▶ UPDATE:
"On January 6, 2025, Pope Francis accepted Gregory's resignation as archbishop of Washington. In May 2025, Gregory participated as a cardinal elector in the papal conclave that elected Pope Leo XIV."

My first time walking on a mountain trail. I've been on hills, but never a mountain. My wife and had gotten quite the workout to say the least.
I've even done a Facebook Live video of myself walking up and down the pass.
Another beautiful mosque I visited this morning with my family on our morning mosque meander! This one (the Al-Rifa'i Mosque) had the most beautiful vaulted ceilings that bounced the light around this way and that. Just before this, our family was in the nearby Sultan Hassan Mosque where we heard some beautiful chanting and reciting from the Q'uran (see a the previous photo on my wall for that). It's been a mind-blowing day again here in Cairo, Egypt. Right now I'm in a car from the @ritzcarlton to go get on National TV with Ossama Kamal on the DMC network. Join me behind the scenes here on Facebook Live Just go to my wall at ift.tt/1MzVunh to tune in live. I don't know if he is more like Egypt's Anderson Cooper or Egypt's Stephen Colbert, so let's find out together. #Cairo #Egypt #rcmemories #mosque #islam #travel #africa via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy

(Nanny Liu had been away on assignment and have not seen her 'son' for about 2 months)
There comes a time in a mans life when he has to do certain things.
One of those times is now.
I vowed not to join the latest social network site which of course is Twitter. I told myself no as I am already on Bebo, Myspace, Facebook, Live Journal, Deviant Art, etc etc. But this afternoon I joined Twitter.
So I have done this image to use as my Twitter avatar!
And yes, I do indeed have pink walls! Ok, I have one pink wall until I can get used to it, but I like it.
So here is my Twitter pic, I hope you like it, and I hope you like this song that I am leaving you with:
You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
'fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew

As I wandered through the streets of Bruges, I happened upon this square and took a Facebook Live video of it. I commented on how it was baffling that there was nobody else there.
This building was originally the residence of the counts of Flanders and the Burgundian dukes, according to the Belgian Wikipedia article for Prinsenhof, which I copy pasted into Google Translate since there was no English article available. This plaza seems to be at least as old as 1396.
nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prinsenhof_(Brugge)
By the way, if anyone knows the architectural name for that tower near the left, let me know. It's not a turret, because turrets don't extend down to the ground. It's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't get it.

Photo: Jacqueline Conrad, Smithsonian’s National Zoo
For the first time in 32 years, the Smithsonian's National Zoo’s American Trail team celebrated the arrival of a sea lion pup, born June 26 to 11-year-old mother Calli. Keepers watched the birth in an off-exhibit area and continue to closely monitor the pup, which appears to be nursing, moving and vocalizing well. Animal care staff are allowing Calli and pup time to bond, so it may be some time before keepers can determine the pup’s sex. This pup is the second for Calli and the first for 8-year-old father, Jetty.
Animal care staff are cautiously optimistic that the pup will thrive and are allowing Calli to care for her pup without interference. Both will remain off-exhibit until Calli’s behavior indicates that she is ready to introduce the pup to the other members of the colony. The Zoo’s three adult sea lions—Jetty and two unrelated females named Summer and Sidney—are able to see, smell and interact with mom and pup in an adjacent holding area. Once Calli demonstrates that she is ready to introduce the pup to the colony, they will join Summer and Sidney on exhibit later this summer. Jetty will meet the pup last; in the wild, males are typically absent from the beaches following pupping and breeding season.
Keepers suspected that Calli was pregnant based on her physical changes, appetite and weight gain, among other cues. Keepers have trained the sea lions to voluntarily participate in radiographs and ultrasounds with veterinarians present as part of their routine medical care. An April 20 radiograph confirmed Calli was pregnant, and animal care staff have been conducting intermittent ultrasounds and tracking the pup’s development. The Zoo announced Calli’s pregnancy May 31 through a broadcast via Facebook Live of her ultrasound; it will continue to provide updates on the sea lions through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The Zoo received a recommendation to breed Calli and Jetty from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan (SSP). An SSP matches individual animals across the country for breeding in order to maintain a healthy, genetically diverse and self-sustaining population. Zoo visitors can see Jetty, Summer and Sidney daily at American Trail.
Native to the West Coast of North America, California sea lions range from Baja, Mexico, to Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Though they were once hunted for their skin, the International Union for Conservation of Nature now classifies them as a species of least concern.
