Big Shot in the Badlands


This shot is a composite of 18 separate shots that I took and therefore it was a huge file and difficult to load to Blogger and Facebook. I think it might be my shot of the year as the colors and landscape in the Badlands was spectacular at this location. You have some yellow from the Yellow Mounds and some red above that with grassland mixed in under a blue sky. Wonderfully fun shot to take. I shot a strip of 3 HDR shots (dark, average and light) across 6 vertical panoramic slices, all handheld and then stitched together in Lightroom. Anyway, enough technical stuff. It is a beautiful landscape and right now is my shot of the year candidate.
