p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Palouse harvest

These were taken from behind my neighbors house earlier this month.

I ran an 8+ hour time lapse on a Panasonic S1 & Sigma 14mm f/1.8 lens and used a second Panasonic S1R with the 24-105mm kit lens to run some additional short video's and time lapses to interleave into the time lapse. I never get to watch that much of the harvest each year, so it was fun being able to do a time lapse of the process and watch it later on. The photos shown below were taken from the time lapse series and processed and cropped in LR.

Monty, this is just an EXCELLENT post in all regards. I chased a few combines in NE Oregon (Helix area) starting in 1994, did a bit in the Palouse (but not enough) and went as far as Montana and Saskatchewan. Your time lapse reminds me how quickly the technology of harvesting changed from that year until I stopped going east in 2005; I doubt you can walk a field next to the machines while they're cutting now…

The weather was hot, the dust ugly, but I still enjoy the photos I made then—thanks for the reminder. You get my Vote

Thanks for the comment, I have been working in the Pullman area for 23+ years and the harvest (minus the dust chaff) is always fun to watch. It always happens so fast and is over before you realize it. I was happy to have captured as much as I did this year... if they had started during the week I would not have been able to capture this time lapse.

I attached a photo of my camera after the time lapse, it took a bit of work with a rocket hand blower and a soft brush to get everything clean... the Panasonic cameras do hold up well to dust!
