The Palouse - Washington
a7R Mk II, 24-70mm @ 24mm, ISO 200, f/9, 1/320 This is a well known falling down barn in the Palouse that is often photographed. The owner has parked a lot of abandoned relics in its yard to make it more interesting. He asks people to stay off of the relics and barn and photograph from the street - it is clearly marked as such. However, some photographers don't seem to respect this person's wishes regarding his private property. When I arrived here, a photo workshop of about 12 people and nearly as many cars was here and some of the people completely ignored the signs - it's pretty clear that it would be a major liability due to the implements and the condition of the barn and people should stay away from these items as it would just be a matter of time before somebody got seriously hurt. To add insult to injury, one person was flying a drone not only over this area but also over the actual working farm on the other side of the street. At one point I witnessed the drone flyer coming down to eye-level altitude right at the opening of a barn where people were working inside on a private farm. I took a few photos including this one from the road and decided to get out of there since I did not want to be falsely associated with this out of control workshop. As I was pulling away, the owner came out on an ATV and confronted the folks on the workshop - as I was driving away a discussion between him and someone in the group was beginning. This is the kind of $#!+ that gives photography a bad name and results more and more places being off limits. While there I communicated with a couple of responsible workshop leaders whom I know and they were observing similar and even worse things. In another photo I'll tell another terrible photography behavior story that I witnessed while in the Palouse. E.J. Peiker http://www.EJPhoto.com
