Palouse – Initial Thoughts
I just returned from a week of shooting and sharing in the Palouse region of SE Washington state. The area is famous for its iconic shots of rolling farmlands and rustic barns. As I prepare the 3,000+ images for insertion into my master Lightroom catalog, I will be posting up a Flickr gallery. Till then, here is an initial shot to whet the anticipation.
Palouse – into the sunset haze
Watching 17 different photographers work was probably as interesting as any part of the trip. The group varied from the Point-n-shoot carrier to people with $ 40K in very long glass in their grasp. Mac and PC users broke bread together. Adobe and Corel users sat side-by-side. Hand-holders and tripod users photographed the same subjects with unique and amazing results.
It really drives home the point that it is the photographer-not the gear that makes the picture. If it weren’t, we could have sent one person and shared their images.
