A Badlands Setting Not Long After Dawn (Badlands National Park)
After several overcast mornings and off and on drizzling weather, it was an amazing sight to see the sun shinning down and blue skies above. So my goal with this image wasn't to minimize those skies, but I did want to capture more of a sweeping view across the badlands to my front by angling my SLR camera slightly downward. I then did some post-production work balancing out the exposure with the nearby area still caught in shadows with those area basking in the morning sunlight. I got the idea for this overlook type view from another photographer before heading out on this trip that included Badlands National Park. I just loved how the view of badlands and the formation seemed to stretch to a far off horizon with the green prairie grasses adding a nice color contrast for the final image.
