Fantastical Photography

I'm convinced that photographer Trey Ratcliff has got to be undoubtedly one of the (if not the) greatest HDR photographer in the business...

The photography I swear just keeps getting better and better, and might I add absolutely awe-inspiring ... Granted it doesn't hurt that the guy's using a $6,000 camera to capture most of these ... But really the equipment only goes so far compared to the dedication and effort it takes to travel literally through all four corners of the world to capture these amazing photographs.

Absolutely beautiful... If but only I could step through some of these pictures to visit these places ... The rendering almost makes it seem like an entirely different world (for sure a far cry from New Jersey no doubt ).

Anyhow, shocker of shocks, I've replaced quite a number of my gorgeous guy rotation wallpapers with a couple of these... (and yes I'm a huge fan of his). You can follow up/check out more of photographer Trey's one-of-a-kind eye for beautiful captures over at his flickr stream. Oh, and of course don't forget to check out his actual blog where all the real action happens .

Well-groomed

This shot right here proves just how much of a difference, waking, taking a warm shower, and getting yourself fully prepped for the ensuing shoot pays off.

What a difference indeed... Assuming some of you recall our gorgeous mystery friend up above from a few months ago when we unwittingly startled him out of bed... I'd almost say he looks downright composed in these shots ... Mind you I still prefer the disheveled look, but I can't be one to complain .
