This is a place I stop every time I visit the Palouse. It’s in one of the many villages and towns that are half abandoned. These two building were actually part of a movie set from many years ago. They are abandoned and the names on the building never existed.
Once again the splendor of Svlabard shines through. In this image on my recent September visit to Svalbard, I was o the deck of the ship shooting a sunset. There was literally a 360 degree view and I walked around the ship shooting a number of compositions. In this shot I was fortunate that a bird flew into the frame. I think the bird makes this image successful. It puts wildlife into the landscape.
I used a Sony a1 to photograph this with a 100-400mm lens. The dynamic range of the camera sensor let me hold detail in the sky and at the same time allowed me to recover detail in the shadows of the bird and the mountain. I used Capture One for the RAW image processing.

I have traveled a lot and photographed hundreds of humpback whales and whale tails. Here a whale tail from my recent trip to Svalbard. We had a real good whale encounter and this is one of the many images I made while the sun was starting its trip to the horizon.
Here’s an interesting fact. You can identify a whale by its tail. There is a website called Happy Whale and you send the images you have of whale tails. They will put the photo in their database a report back if the whale has been spotted before and where. They will also send you an email if someone else identifies the same whale. You can see on a map where the whale has been. Pretty fun stuff.

For twenty plus years have been visiting the Palouse. Usually I visit in the early summer (middle of June). I then occasionally visit in August for the harvest, which is great time to photograph the Palouse in a different color . The landscape is dynamic in the harvest because it is always changing. This year has been an exceptional year so far in the Palouse. I have never seen it is a green. There has been consistently cool temperatures and more rain than expected. The area is all green. Sometimes so green as it hurts your eyes to see so much green.
If you are ever interested in joining me on one of my workshops to the Palouse, please visit Rockhopper Workshops To See info and register.
The images presented present here are just a drop in the bucket. They were made with my Sony a7riv and Sony a1. I also used my iPhone as I wanted to see how it did on a journey like this. More images from the iPhone series will be presented here soon.
