Sometimes the old school in me comes out. This is a case and point where even though the image in color is great, converting it to BW works better. Shot with an IQ180 in Palouse on a PODAS workshop, this image has it all a storm, landscape and sunrise.
The Palouse looks absolutely beautiful from the air. As part of the PODAS workshop attendees were given the option to do Palouse fly overs. There is atonally different look for the wire. This image is a great example of patterns and contrast that is part of the Palouse from the overhead perspective.
Red Barn, so simply Palouse again. Hundreds of red barns in the Palouse. This one works because of the light, the grain in the background and just the way it is placed in the frame.
The back roads of the Palouse offer many surprises and that is one of the things that makes that area so special. On one of the back roads there is a place I call the Bell House. Simply because it has hundreds of bells all over the place. These bells line the pro[prty line, extend around the house driveway and everywhere. Big bells, small bells. Pretty cool hobby collecting bells. This is a shot of one of the bells. Just a fun shot.
I have been editing my images (thousands) from the trip to the Palouse a few weeks ago. I came across this one and I think it say and describes what the Palouse is all about. What a beautiful place.
The Palouse is full of old trucks. Vary rarely though do you happen to find a garage where you find an old 1940’s vintage truck just siting there like it was parked yesterday. This one place I found was completely untouched with magazines dating to 1945. Kind of amazing it has lasted this long. Anyway I took a lot of images in this garage. This is a shot where I worked on it a bit to make it feel older. I hope to soon be sharing some of the dramatic landscape images.
One of the cool things about the Palouse is there are a lot of old things just left sitting out. I found an old barn and in this barn was an old truck, tools and all sorts of cool stuff. Magazines dated back to 1945. What a place. I shot the heck out of this place and you will see more photos. This one is so simple it works. A light bulb. An old light hanging from the ceiling. I hope you like the subtly of it.
The above image pretty much says it all about the Palouse. I head home after a week here shooting and leading a PODAS workshop. It was a lot of fun. We had 28 attendees from around the world and made some new friends. Photography open so many doors and it so much fun to meet people who have the same passion. What a great week.
I am about to leave the Palouse after a terrific workshop. The attendees were great and the photography was outstanding. So much fun and a lot of great new friends. I don’t even know where to begin to describe this event and the images made during the event. All good. You’ll se more here over the coming weeks. Today’s image is what the Palouse is all about. The harvest of wheat and other crops. It is an amazing place and you just have to explore it, take a dirt road and see where it leads you. The light is magical and the landscape goes on forever.

As you may know by reading the blog I am in the Palouse running a fun and exciting workshop. Visit www.podas.info to view the images and activities. This image was taken at a property near endicott. This very nice and interesting man has built an old time Texaco gas station out in the middle of no where. There are old cars, old gas pumps and other cool stuff. This is the from of one of the old cars. There are so many good images coming out of this trip. I’ll have more soon.
