July 13 - 17, 2020 focusing on Night Photography

Join us in the rolling hills of the Palouse in Washington State.  We will photograph old barns and homesteads, the vivid green colors of the rolling farmland, old trucks, and weather permitting… we will photograph the Night Sky in all its glory.  

Itinerary:

We will meet in the lobby of the Wheatland Inn in Colfax Washington at 4pm on July 13th, 2020 and head out to shoot through the golden hour. We will return to the hotel every evening after sunset for a brief rest and then we head out again around 10pm to shoot the night sky (weather permitting).

  • Each day after day one, we will leave the motel at around 3pm and shoot the Palouse (landscape, vintage vehicles, barns, crop dusters, etc.) until around sunset. We will head back to the hotel for a rest or to download photos until 10pm when we will go out and shoot into the night.

  • Depending on weather, we will try to add as many nights as possible to shoot the Milky Way over the old building on the Palouse.
