Saving the best for last seemed to be the theme of this trip out to the New Mexico badlands. With mostly clear skies for the first few days, we spent that time scouting, exploring, and droning. Once the clouds arrived for the latter part of the trip, we were all prepped up where to go and what to shoot. Unfortunately for Aaron, he had more important places to be and departed before the best light of the trip.
For this evening, Paul, David, and I ventured out to a remote section of badlands that the former two had explored and photographed several times before. Paul and David even reminisced about shooting here back in the day with their venerable 5D2’s. Both were also surprised to see how much had changed in these badlands over the years. Notable hoodoos had lost their caps and once pristine areas appeared covered with flash flood debris. After some time exploring together the three of us split up each with our own goals.
As the sky began lighting up I found myself dashing between scenes trying to get the most out of the light. Eventually I ended up near Paul to catch some of the late light over this large field of hoodoos. Both the sunrise and sunset light were memorable, but the highlight of the trip was seeing everyone again and sharing our memories.
