Winter Wheat.
What is the Palouse? It is a region in Eastern Washington where wheat grows among beautiful hills. Spring and Summer are the best time to visit….“The undisputed best time to photograph the Palouse is late spring. Late May through June are considered the prime time because the wheat fields turn a gorgeous green, canola fields are bright yellow, wildflowers have emerged, and the weather is very nice with temperatures typically in the 80s. If canola fields are a priority for you, I suggest Late May or early June. The overwhelming number of photographs taken in the Palouse are from this time of year. It is very popular now with photographers now, so be sure and book ahead.Another fantastic time to visit the Palouse is during the wheat harvest. Wheat harvesting begins mid-late July and extends until roughly mid-August. The fields change from their brilliant green hues to a beautiful gold/amber color and the entire region takes on a completely different feel. The farmers are extremely busy during this period, the temperatures are hot, and the Palouse seems more dynamic and active. I think more dramatic and stark images can be captured in August. This is also the time for more frequent thunderstorms, which can result in amazing images for your portfolio.“(https://www.chrismarlerphotography.com/gallery/photography-guide-palouse/)
I do not like crowds. I went when no one was there. I did not see another photographer in the area.
I shot these images with the Pentax 645N, with the Pentax 75mm 1:2.8 Lens. I developed the film in Cinestill’s Cs-41 developer. I scanned the negatives with the Epson V850 using the Epson software.
