Palousean Greens by Zeb Andrews Via Flickr: The Palouse is one of those areas where there really is no bad time to visit. Granted, I generally travel out there in the spring, but I have passed through it during summer and fall as well and seen some amazing photos of it in winter. Spring is its most popular time of year because the fertile landscape blooms in the greens of crops growing. Personally spring is my favorite for the weather, which unlike the gentle, almost rhythmic, undulation of the landscape can sweep through dramatically. We had bright sun, then puffy white clouds, then beautiful overcast skies and then hail and dark, brooding storm clouds. We could stand there and watch the patches of light sail across the landscape, highlight one hill after another. And if the light wasn't just right, we simply waited and watched and it would eventually come back as the sun flitted from one cloud break to another. It was quite lovely, if more than a bit breezy. I took along a few cameras on this trip; loaded down a bit heavier than usual as it was going to be less about on-foot travel and more about in-car travel. So I had my Hasselblad (of course), the Fuji G617 (which is responsible for this image), a Reality So Subtle 6x12, a Zero Image 6x6, a Reality So Subtle 6x6 (because one pinhole was loaded with color and the other with B&W) and then my Olympus XA. I actually used all the cameras pretty equally, but so far I have only seen images from the Fuji G617. I had a roll of Fuji 160C in 220 tucked away in the fridge and that came along. 220 is a great format for the Fuji and the greens of 160C are a great match for the Palouse. The stars aligned.
