Washington Palouse Workshop

Now that my spring and summer workshops are winding down I thought I would share a few images from this past June’s Palouse Workshop. We had an amazing group of travelers on this trip and some of the best conditions I’ve seen in Palouse over the last few years! The hues of greens and yellows were pretty epic and we also had some great old barns and the usually old americana that you can find throughout the area. We also had some pretty spectacular crops of canola and mustard seed, giving us at times almost blinding fields of brilliant yellows, adding some nice landscape foregrounds around the Colfax area.

At Steptoe Butte, we had the usually great crowd of photographers, getting to see some familiar faces from years previous and I think everyone was pretty pleased with the views we had up top this year. The greens were amazing and the light cooperated more often than not, giving us the classic overlook views of the Palouse. We were treated again this year to one of the yellow crop dusters making some passes in front of us, adding a nice element in the sea of green.

Overall it was an awesome trip and I’m anxiously awaiting next years!

Palouse Photography Workshop

May 5, 2016 by Jason Savage Leave a Comment

Washington Palouse

Hard to believe spring is already here! It’s definitely time to get back to the blog and I have unfortunately been neglecting it during my travels this winter. Plus I have been secretly enjoying some time away from the computer:) But alas it’s time to get back to it, I’ll be posting regular updates from this spring and summer on workshops, travel, and new images from around the western U.S.

On another note, we’ve just had two last minute spots open up on the Palouse Workshop in Washington State. This is a landscape photographer’s paradise and one of my favorite locations out west to photograph. If you’re itching to get out west and explore the pastel hills of the Palouse, visit my workshops page at www.jasonsavagephotography.com/workshops to secure your spot.

In the meantime happy shooting out there!

Top ten favorite images from 2015

January 1, 2016 by Jason Savage Leave a Comment

It’s been a fantastic year full of adventure and new friendships and I’m grateful for all the new photographers I’ve got to meet on last year’s trips and looking forward to many more in 2016. We had some great workshops this year in Olympic National Park, Montana, Yellowstone and Oregon. I want to thank all those who joined me on the 2015 workshops and those who have supported and followed my work. Being able to share my images  and meet such fantastic and amazing people along the way is a real blessing. Happy New Year to everyone, wish you the best!

Palouse, Washington

Now that the year’s winding down, I’m finally back home for a bit getting caught up on some of last year’s images. I thought I would share a few from this last June on our Palouse photography workshop in Washington State. The Palouse sits in a unique area of eastern Washington and is home to a major agricultural area producing wheat and other crops. The beautiful topography of this area provides endless places to wander for landscape photographers as its rolling hills and pastel hues create painterly scenes reminiscent of Tuscany.

A tip for those who plan to visit: Make sure to pack your telephoto lens as a lot of the classic landscape shots are surprisingly far away and compose better with a focal length in the 300mm-400mm range and even beyond. I routinely will pack my 500mm and use with and without teleconverters to isolate some of the tighter compositions. Apart from the scenic overlooks such as Steptoe Butte there are still plenty of places to use a wide-angle.

I’m really looking forward to getting back out there this next year on my June workshop and revisiting some of these spots. The great thing about the Palouse is it’s such a dynamic and ever changing landscape, between what’s been planted, harvested, the changing light, and weather conditions, it’s never the same scene twice. As of this blog post, there are still a couple of spots open on the 2016 workshop, visit my workshops page for more details.

Montana Photography Workshops, Wild West Photos

Thought I would post a link to some new photography workshops I will be teaching in Montana this year hosted by Wild West Photos out of Bozeman, Montana. Wild West will be starting out with some new workshops in Glacier & Grand Teton National Parks, Summer-Fall 2011. In addition they are also reserving spots for January 2012, Yellowstone National Park.

I will be teaching a summer and fall workshop up in Glacier National Park starting this July and next September. I will also be teaching the winter Yellowstone workshop for 2012, which is just an amazing place to be in the winter if you haven’t been. Both parks offer up some of the best photography in the country with amazing and unique landscapes as well as some of the best wildlife. Grizzlies, Wolves, Elk, Bighorn Sheep… Workshop sizes are being kept small, so they may fill up quickly. Feel free to drop me a line with any questions.
