p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Palouse Sunset


This set is mostly from a Sunday afternoon drive a couple weeks ago. The first shot, though, has been hanging around for over a month. I haven't gotten out too often, but considering how busy I've been my photo time hasn't taken a big hit. Here are a few shots from the Palouse at sunset. Any and all C&C is very welcome and much appreciated.

1. Sunset below Kamiak. This is a single shot cropped to a 1x2 pano format. The field in the middle is for grazing horses. They ended up being distracting specks to me so I cropped them out (three or four total).

2. Not sunset, but getting closer. During the drive I happened to find a road going up to some wind turbine construction. As usual, I liked this lone tree. The sun rays were very faint. I brought them out more with a layer painted in. This is a wider shot taken with the 24-105L.

3. Further up the hill and later in the day this scene caught my eye. Taken with the 400 F/5.6.

4. Finally sunset. I didn't have a particular sunset place in mind. However, the clouds and color were pretty nice and this scene finally made me pull over when viewed through my rear view. I used a 2-stop reverse GND.

Hey Aaron,

It's great that you are getting out still and shooting a bit. #1 and 3 are my favorites too here, but all of them are nice.

Love the soft colors of the first--they lend a very pastoral feeling to the image. I also like the third. I'm always a sucker for the "detail shots" around the Palouse, especially when the light is captured as you've done here.

Great set, my favorite is No. 3. The layers and the lighted tops just make for a great painting like effect.

Thank you all very much for the feedback; its much appreciated.

Rick: The rays were really faint and I'm surprised they showed up well enough for me to attempt to locally increase the contrast but not overdo it.

AMaji and Dave: I too love the early morning/late afternoon light just skimming the hills. The Palouse is a great region.
