The point of views and scenic vistas you captured in these Dave is simply wonderful.
Great light and color the rolling contours of the country side and compositions are all top notch. Wonderful work!

Dude
No grass growing under your feet (pardon the pun). Shameful use of your crash edits. The damn place was really green... Very cool images pal. And I'm glad to see you kept the roof in #2.

Wowwww, Dave. That rolling green wave is a mindbender! Superb series my friend. All bring out the unique quality of this region; and your compositions and processing are excellent.
PS I didn't realise that Starbucks had got into the Palouse!
PSS So you beat Tim to the draw
Thanks, Martin...and Tim has some wicked IR images to share, so keep an eye out! Dave
PS...Starbuck, singular...I looked, but all they had was "Barnyard Blend."

I'm partial to that one too! Thanks, Ahren. Dave

Hey Dave, I am looking forward to your series, for this quick taste I like #2 and 3 alot. #3 is a really cool road shot. Jim
The rolling green hills seemed almost to require a touch of the man-made to really spotlight the unique geography. Thanks, Jim! Dave
Please tell me a little about the 'Palouse.' I'm guessing it is in the southeastern section of Washington State by your title, but otherwise, I know nothing!

You have some real green velvety shots, Dave. I've been through that area once. You sure make it inviting to visit there again. Great job! JBR
Thanks, John...that had been pretty much my experience with the Palouse before I picked up a camera: I'd been through it, but never looked at it this closely. Dave

Terrific set, Dave! I wish I'd had more time last Labor Day weekend to explore the area, and it was all gold and brown, from the recent harvest, so these of brilliant green are really amazing! I love the 2nd and 3rd....Lovely pieces showing the rolling terrain, and with gorgeous lighting. The road shot is extra cool!! Barry
Hi, Barry. I'm certainly going to try to make it back for the golds and browns before or after harvest...the green time was a superb introduction, though. And, while we can't speak for Don, Tim and I will have some barns for you too! Thanks. Dave

Great shots! Love the depth in the first, and the light on the rolling green hills in the last two.
It's a biiiiig place! I specifically wanted to work on larger vistas and abstract features, and I certainly got my opportunity! Thanks. Dave

Starbuck?? Any photos of the 'downtown' area?
Hi, Jeff...as I said, I believe I do...and I'll dig around to see if any are worth the processing...a strange little place in a very harsh land. Thanks. Dave

Another area out west that I'd like to see. What did you learn in the workshop, Dave? Really nice set of photos. Sharon
I learned the difference between wheat and barley...I think . The Exposure36 workshops Jim Altengarten offers are generally more shooting tour than classroom, but I wanted to concentrate on larger vistas, graphic elements, and negative space in my images, and I certainly got the chance! Thanks, Sharon! Dave

Hey, Dave Looks like you had a nice trip and as seems to be always the case, you have brought back superb photographic trophies. The lemming I am, I'd pick number 2 for top honors, but I would be very proud indeed had I captured anything even close to any of them. The Palouse is on my list, and close to the top. Excuse me while I gaze at them again! Well done! Cal
Hi, Cal...definitely worth the effort of a visit, and four very distinct shooting seasons...although you do have to be careful during that fifth shooting season, but that's why Cabela's sells blaze-orange too! Thanks. Dave

Excellent shots Dave, beautiful landscapes one and all I love #2! Well done.

Thanks, David! More to come. Dave

Ooooooh! I think the first shot is awesome. When I realized that I was looking down a hill that's as steep as the one in the distance, I felt dizzy! Now that's a landscape! Paz
I went driving into the hills...well, because I like driving into the hills, but also to try to get that "town in a hollow" shot...but when I saw the even more primitive road snaking off into the scablands across the valley, I had to try to make something out of it. Thanks, Patrice! Dave

Thanks, Randy...it was interesting to see the different takes we got at the workshop when all six of us were aimed in sort of the same direction: the Palouse all pretty much looks like this, so it's all up to you to choose how you fill the frame. Dave

Yeah, well, they were already in the can...sort of: I retuned 'em once I got home to the 'real' monitor...and I am, on occasion, happily shameful...or shameless. I don't know about you, but the vast green frequently required roofs or whatnot to give me something to hang a comp on. Thanks, Tim! Dave

Beautiful images Dave, 2 & 3 are my favs.
Thank you, Paddy. Dave

Like the way you composed all three. The first and third are really impressive views, and more so for the way you used the buildings for scale.
I don't know if I needed 'em for training wheels, but I was more comfortable composing when there was something that provided a frame of reference for the big spaces. As I go through the images from four days of intense shooting, it'll be interesting to see if my comfort zone loosened up a bit. Thanks, PJ. Dave

Gorgeous, Dave! Another vote for #2 from me.
A wonderful and inspiring group , Dave . I didn't expect to see 'new' views of the Palouse from the Dave/Don /Tim visit , but how wrong I was ! . I like them all very much , especially as they display so many different aspects of the area . It's on my list , too --- it may get a bit crowded up there !

Beautiful Dave. I just love the images from this area, and these are so sweet. I really enjoy #2, but #3 grabs my attention, so I'm going with #3 as the favorite. Very nicely done. Bart
Thanks, Bart! I had always wanted a chance at the Palouse in its green mood, ever since I picked up the camera...of course, now I have to go back at or just before harbest for the gold mood. Dave

Don's a bit quicker on the processing draw than Tim or me, but there will be quite a bit more coming out of the studios! And I cheated a bit and had a day and a half of sneaking about before the workshop started. Thanks so much, Adrian. Dave
