Just about two weeks ago I was working with Phase One doing a workshop in Bar Harbor, ME. Bar Harbor is a beautiful location and sit just outside Acadia National Park. The workshop group did an early morning shoot. The shoot took place on a pond and the group seemed to be glued to one spot. I decided to take a walk and in doing so I found this old tree on the shore of the pond. I messed around with the angles and finally lying down on the rock I got the angle as seen in this image. Once I looked at it on the computer I worked it a bit balancing out exposures of foreground and background to achieve the image shown here.

Shadow Valley Motors
As I have stated in previous posts, the Palouse offers many surprises. This image was made at a place I have been going to for years. It is known as Shadow Valley Motors and is a collection of old trucks, an old Texaco gas station and more. These are arranged by a fellow that does this as a hobby. Funny thing is he doesn’t have an iPhone, computer or even an email address and he says he never thought the place would be a must see for photographers on tours in the Palouse. I have given him a pile of images I have made at his property over the years. He’s a cool guy and has even more things he’ll be adding. I plan to go back to the Palouse in the spring. This summer’s harvest and my last visit wasn’t the best for pictures. They have been suffering a terribly hot and dry summer which made them have to harvest the wheat a month early.
