Future visions while ‘Stuck in Customs’

Trey Ratcliff, who logs on to Flickr and elsewhere as “Stuck in Customs”, is goosing along the Photoshop adventure with some much-envied images that you can see on his own Flickr page and on his website.
The one above snagged the attention of 2Bangkok.com because it’s a spookily topical view of the city’s new Suvarnabhumi International Airport, which has become old very, very fast thanks to some pretty shabby planning.
The pic below is an enhanced view of Bangkok’s traffic “veins”, as Ratcliff calls them, looping thruways in the vicinity of the Victory Monument. Yes, those cars are moving, something you only see late at night in Bangkok.
The photo magician gets his HDR (high dynamic range) effects with a combination of Photoshop, Photomatix, FDRTools, Aperture and Adobe Lightroom, all of which I subsequently looked into and none of which I understand in the slightest.
