Jono: Thanks! A good time was had by all! We didn't see any other photographers? We were hoping to get Terry's crop duster to buzz us, but, no luck.Very Nice Matt - and I love your last landscape shot as well.
I hope a good time was had by all?
. . . and you didn't bump into Terry?
all the best
Matt, nice series! Steptoe Butte I found really deceptive at sunset. You are high enough up to get some cool shadow and interesting terrain but for the most part it seems too high. As the sun drops the shadows actually start to become overwhelming and encroach too much on the shots. You lose perspective that those are big hills down there and the ground level seems to go to flat light well before the actual sunset. I wish we had gone down from Steptoe early and chased the light on the hills.Jono: Thanks! A good time was had by all! We didn't see any other photographers?

Ryan McGinty was a local Moscow, Idaho, photographer the Ashwin met online. He very generously met us on Monday afternoon and took us to some great backroad places. He's a great guy, and an excellent photographer. Here's his Flickr site: Flickr: Ryan McGinty's Photostream
We were headed back to Moscow after giving up on the sunset at Steptoe Butte, when Ryan suddenly put on his turn signal, and headed off the highway, up a dirt road. A look in the rear view mirror confirmed that he was headed to high ground to catch the sunset that we'd given up on. After a 10 minute, 40 mile an hour chase, we arrived just in time to capture it. The downside was that all of the 'good' restaurants had closed by the time we headed back, and, we ate at Applebee's. It was still worth it.
Cheers, Matt

Hi DavidSo OM looking. Takes you back Doesn't it?
I'm holding on, waiting to see what Panasonic and Canon come up with before I move. But it's getting difficult, luckily I suffer from China syndrome so that's a help.
