Photography Tour with

August 24-29
August 24-29
For iPhone and Traditional Photographers
Whether in spring or fall, photographing the Palouse is a rare treat. If it was just the clouds and rolling fields, that might be enough. But add to that the contoured tapestry of yellow canola fields, brown fallow fields and green wheat blowing in the breeze and it will take your breath away! Throw in a red barn under a dramatic sky and call the paramedics!
By July/August, the wheat turns a deep golden yellow and harvest activities begin. You'll see some of the biggest farm equipment known to man move through huge fields as if doing a choreographed ballet.

Our days will be spent photographing the landscape including beautiful barns, abandoned farms, windmills, farm equipment and retired work trucks, and other vehicles in various stages of decay. We'll catch at least one sunrise and one sunset from atop Steptoe Butte, a 3,612 feet high butte that towers over the surrounding countryside affording a birds-eye view of the fields below. It's an opportunity to use long lenses to capture stunning shots of the undulating landscape.

The quality of the light is extraordinary and because it's ever-changing in the way it illuminates the landscape, it creates unique challenges for photographers. Chasing the light can be fun, but it's usually an act of futility; if you wait and watch, that great illumination will eventually return to grace your viewfinder again.

We'll stop in small towns for lunch and breaks, and have the chance to do some street photography, western style. You'll find your share of Norman Rockwell moments, like this image of a barber shop in Colfax, WA.
