Iconic Palouse

The Palouse a small corner of Southeast Washington is a beautiful region that attracts photographers in the spring and during middle to late August.  It has one of the richest soils in the country and it’s an area that is famous for growing wheat and other similar crops.  I have visited the Palouse many times and it always provides me with a ton of new images a sit is a dynamic landscape, always changing.  This is one of the more iconic pictures of the Palouse.  A hillside, harvester and windmill.  Shot with a Fuji XT-1.

The Palouse Harvest is all about big open fields, perfect skies and harvesters bringing in the grain.  The drivers and farmers of the harvest work endless days drive combines through the fields.  This image was captures with a long lens from the top of Steppe Butte one of the highest points in the Palouse.  I think it explains itself.

A 9 Image Stitch Sunset In The Palouse

Posts have been nonexistent over the last few days as internet has been super slow where I was, qw well as being busy from sunrise to sunset with the workshop.  Today I head back to Indianapolis and kick into catch up mode.  Lots or entries to post, images to work on and articles to finish.  I’ll be home for a few weeks before heading off to Photokina.  This image above was made a few nights ago at a sunset with a storm on the horizon.  The location is one of many I have marked in the Palouse.  It was beautiful way to close out a long day.  It was a 9 image stitch.

One of the things that make the Palouse so special are the surprises it offers up.  I am in the Palouse all week leading Rockhopper workshop.  We will be visiting many places and shooting the wheat harvest.  However we will also be visiting abandoned homes and cars that are dotted all over the Palouse.  It’s great fun.  This image is an old house I found and then worked in post processing.  I did a single image tone map then using silver effects pro did a fun BW toned conversion.  Shot with a Fuji XT1.

I am in the Palouse for a week.  I’ll be running a workshop here for photographers using Phase One cameras.  The Palouse is located in southeastern Washington state.  It can be compared to the Tuscany of America. rolling hills with wheat and neat little farms, and all sort of surprises.  I have been coming here for years and always leave with some beautiful images.  This image embodies the Palouse, golden fields, windmills and lonely trees.  Look for more to come.

Train

Train 1 French likSorry, it has been very busy with a lot of projects and I haven’t been able to find time to post.  So, I’m back and will try to my daily postings again.  This was made yesterday in French Lick, IN.  There is a large train museum and old train depot.  A photographers paradise.  This isn’t the last you’ll be seeing from yesterday’s shoot.
