Yet another favorite scene from Steptoe Butte in the morning. Not much time to post as we are finishing up our 2nd tour and the days are long. We LOVE the Palouse! [Tweet “Palouse Sunrise”]

On one of our scouting days, we went out to check on a favorite double barn scene. The sky was pretty gnarly, so I took a grab shot thinking I might be able to work with it in post. After a fair amount of work in Lightroom and then Photoshop and Nik Color Efex Pro,...

And now for something a bit different. Not all images from the Palouse need to be tack sharp. Sometimes its fun to try “swipes,” a technique where you move your camera while depressing the shutter. Oft times you will need to shoot a number of them to...

I love the rolling hills that surround this great grain elevator. This was made the other night when the light was magical. It had just rained so the air was very clear and the light golden. We are finishing up the first tour and getting ready for the second...

What matters most to you? For me it is certainly not photography. What? What did John just say? Let me put it this way. I was recently made aware of a friends newly revealed battle with cancer. Roxanne has a great attitude, however, the doctors are demanding she...

Awhile back, I wrote about the concept of complex simplicity, a term coined by my tour partner Dan Sniffin. To my eye, this image fits the term. While it has a lot going on, it really is a very simple composition. Lots of straight lines created by the trees and...

This is a a grab shot with a lesson. We were doing our pre-tour scouting when we spotted this scene. Rather than get out a tripod and shoot it properly, I fired off a couple of handheld shots and we moved on. At the moment my head was filled with things like, we need...
