Eroded Buttes on an Overcast Day (Badlands National Park)
Because of the overcast skies and drizzle that morning, I decided not to get up early to catch a sunrise this day at the Big Badlands Overlook as I'd seen from another photographer and his captured images. So I angled my SLR camera slightly downward, capturing the badlands formations to my front. I could then work an angle to include the upper portions of the butte and pinnacles off in the distance and minimize any skies above. I later used a Pro Contrast and Skylight CEP filter in Capture NX2 for the final image to address what I felt was the more muted colors from the overcast skies above.
