Hey Jim, There's a secret to Steptoe Butte, where the wind is blowing the least is where you should be taking your photo. On this day the wind was blowing about 10 mph on the western side. But on the eastern side where this image was taken there was no wind. I keep my tripod low and use my body as a wind break. I've been able to take photos in 20 mph winds and still get a sharp image. I'll also use the rocks and mounds as windbreaks. Even getting closer to to dirt bank beside the road will have less wind. One more thing that always helps is wearing a windbreaker coat and pants. You take so much better photos when your not freezing your bones from cold breezes. Ry

Thanks guys, For this comp I felt I could sacrifice having the trees showing at the bottom. My water mark caused more attention drawn to them but otherwise I felt the shadow helped hold them back. There was so much happening when I took this photo. I wanted a composition that really used strong thirds and balance. I didn't want to use a tight telephoto because I felt the overall image was more impressive and I would of been comp stomping. I have another image I'll post soon looking south showing the actual size of these clouds. Ry

Looks like Armageddon is coming. With this processing you can see all of the faces in the clouds. Lots of fun. Ry -

From your foreground detail leading backing into those amazing shaped hills up to the sky with even more detail, this image will cause a lot of people to be interested in owning your work. The foothills are amazing. One thing to remember is to watermark your images. Or you'll find your images used everywhere without your consent and no will know who took this great image. Ry -
This is an award winner. Perfect timing Bob. -

Last week I went looking for this barn hoping to capture a spring photo of it. I kept wonder why I was driving past it. Then I finally decide to wander up into the field and saw it was a pile of metal and beams. The barn didn't make it through the winter, the snow had crushed it. I was very sad. It had the most amazing S curve leading behind it. Thankfully I was able to capture an image that showed how amazing that barn was. Ry

Chambers, WA. Little did I know this was the last harvest this old
barn would witness.

Dust bins, tripods, trash cans they all work the same. Lots of energy against the stillness of the buildings. Looks like people are dancing. Ry -
You know it's a great image when no matter how you crop the image it's outstanding. You definitely lucked out on having all of the elements come together for this image. A once in a lifetime capture beautifully done. Ry -
Spring is beginning here at the Palouse. Enjoy, Ry

That's right the February moon lines up with the silos during the day. I like the angle of the silo leading towards the moon. Great tones. Ry -
Thanks everyone for your comments, Ry -
You finally got a 5DMKII. Your colors have been bolder lately, I thought you might of upgraded. The whiteness of the crack draws your eye right to the middle. It's bold, dividing and different. I do like the blues. Ry

Thank you again everyone for your kind comments. Vineet this is actually a very well photographed location in the Palouse. On this day the clouds were moving swiftly over the area spilling light onto certain areas of the land. I waited a few minutes for the cloud's shadow to line up with the green wheat. What I like about this image is that it's divided into three equal layers with a line leading you through each layer. Most images show this area completely covered in green wheat. But I like early spring where you can see the transitioning of green winter wheat fields against the recently planted rich soil fields. Thank you everyone, Ry
