2021 Palouse Photo Workshop Recap

“Thank you for another fabulous weekend workshop! The Palouse was amazing. Its hard to describe with words the beauty and allure of this region. I am thrilled with my pictures. There is a challenge to photographing this area with all the shades of light. In the field my settings were based on ETTR. Honestly, when I saw some of the images in the back of my camera I wasn’t super excited to download. But once I processed the raw images and was able to pull out all the data I had actually captured. WOW!  You and Vinny are always so helpful with the challenges of the extreme lighting for sunrise/sunset. Explaining when/how to bracket and when/how to use my ND filters. This was my THIRD workshop and every time I , “learn something new and I feel the quality of my images improves immensely.  I am pleased with my compositions. Now I have a very good understanding on ETTR. I do see a need to work on sharp focus. A few of my shots that I thought were perfectly sharp are soft when I zoom in. So my next question is “Where are we going to next?” 

I tried to be very deliberate with my shooting during the workshop. I did not want to end up with 3000 photos to sort through and end up deleting. I took just over 600 during the weekend.  It was very hard to select just 5 for the blog. (I actually sent 6). I do need to spend time reviewing Lightroom to learn how to dodge and burn to bring out a few more highlights but I am so pleased with these photos as is. I hope you enjoy them too.”
