Amazing Palouse Sunset

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.

A Fixer Upper

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.

This Is The Palouse

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.

Heading Out Again – Palouse Bound

The Palouse Landscape, Simple and Beautiful (Click To See Larger)

I am heading out early tomorrow to lead a workshop in the Palouse. This is one of my favorite areas in the country to photography. Kind of like the Tuscany of America. Rolling hills and big skies. Our workshop will be shooting at harvest time. This is the time all the fields have turned from green to gold. And , the farmers with their combines start to cut down the wheat. This means everyday will be different. There are new patterns and things to shoot all the time. This image was made a few years ago but to me is what the Palouse is all about. Simple and beautiful landscapes.

Since I am in America and have internet we will continue to post articles and images directly from the workshop.

So Simple, So Elegant

The Palouse...Simple Does It — The Palouse…Simple Does It

One of the areas of this country I really love is the Palouse in SE Washington State. This an area of rolling hills and farmland with some of the richest soil anywhere. The late spring and early fall are the ideal times to visit this area. This sit just show how a simple picture can be so elegant.

Palouse Harvest Time

This is a fantastic time to visit the Palouse in Washington. It’s harvest time and this makes the landscape very dynamic as the farmers harvest endless fields of wheat. You can spend all day exploring and shooting in the Palouse. This image was made after chartering a plane and flying for an hour and shooting the fields from a different perspective. I’ll be running a Lula/PODAS workshop in the Palouse next August. Stay tuned for details.

Palouse Pano

Boy, I am having a run on the Palouse. Maybe it is just because I love this region so much. Also, I am prepping the launch of a workshop in the Palouse next August. This is a great example of just how simple of a landscape the Palouse is and why simple works so well.. Shot with a Phase One IQ180.

Palouse Trees

The Palouse region, in Southeast Washington is all rolling hills and manicured fields. But a little ways way is an area of flat lands where this image was made. I ike the look of the trees and fields as well as the sky. It just works.

America’s Tuscany

I am in Tuscany now and before I start posting what I am sure will be a ton of great Tuscany images, I wanted to share an image from what I consider to be America’s Tuscany, the Palouse. This was made on one of those morning at sunrise with storms rolling in. The scene changed every few minutes and I feel this image has just so much going on in it.

Sunrise In Palouse

palouse sunrise 0001 Kevin Raber wcr — Sunrise In The Palouse

I work for a great company Phase One and we make the best cameras and software in the world. Recently we released a new version of our RAW image processor Capture On 7. This new software is so good ( and I am not kidding) that I am going back and re-working some of the tougher images I have. And, C1 7 is kicking ass with these images. Here is one taken in the Palouse last year with an Iq180. I have another from the same morning I’ll post tomorrow. I can see a long winter ahead re-working many images. That is also equal to a lot of wine drinking.
