An Unnamed Creek Flowing through Prairie Grass and Badlands (Badlands National Park)
A stop not far from the Fossil Exhibit Trail and Castle area. With this image, I wanted to capture that sweeping view across the prairie grasses and nearby creek and let those lead the eyes to the more distant badlands and formations. Given the overcast skies and intermittent rain that day, I decided to angle my SLR camera slightly downward capturing the grassland and smaller formations to my front. I could then work an angle to include the upper portions of the butte and pinnacles off in the distance. 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.
