Almost Abstract: Palouse Hills, Washington
Details in the LARGE format version.
Rarely do I shoot an image at 375mm, or over 100mm for that matter. Composing a landscape at that focal length is just something I'm not good at, and have very little experience doing. Fortunately, the morning light on the Palouse Hills allowed me to experiment a little, and I came away with a few images at longer focal lengths that are encouraging. Of course, this area is encouraging on its own, so I'm not taking credit for anything here!
The amount of land the farmers in this area cultivate is mind boggling. The hills go on and on, and the farmers go right with them, only leaving the steepest parts untouched. This area makes the Central Valley of California look small!
I am interested in doing some more minimalistic shots, but for the time being, this is about as minimal as I can muster. If you look at this image in large format, you can see all the detailed lines and patterns left by farm equipment.
