Where I've Been

It has been quite a number of years since I have been to a photography workshop....but that is exactly where I have been for the last week.  I just returned from an absolutely wonderful workshop in the Palouse led by John Barclay and Dan Sniffin.  They truly exemplify what a well run professional workshop should be like.  More specifically, they had been to the Palouse many, many times before and knew where the excellent shooting locations were. Moreover, they had a plan for every and any weather situation.  And by that I don't mean just overcast vs. sunny.  They had pre-arranged locations in mind for that, but also for blue skies vs. cloudy skies, chasing the changing light etc.  And even though this was theoretically a photo 'tour' as opposed to a workshop, there was really no difference.  They both made themselves readily available for any and all questions in the field and also had several didactic sessions that contained tidbits that would be helpful to those at all levels of processing experience.  Perhaps most importantly, they were both an absolute pleasure to be around and, needless to say, are superb photographers. I certainly plan to attend more of their workshops in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone.  It was both a pleasure and an honor to be photographing with them as well as with the many other very talented photographers who were participants with me in the Palouse!

I hope in the next few weeks, as I go through the many images that I took, to have many to share on this blog.  I just have to get through the keywording, editing, and processing stages first!
