Some landscapes are so sweeping its an incredible challenge to portray them properly in a tightly constrained photo, no matter what the format or lens used. The South Dakota Badlands fall into that category. Standing at any one of numerous scenic lookouts one’s field of view is completely filled with this amazingly surreal landscape.

On this particular day the weather was turning for the worst, but the cloud cover provided nice even lighting to bring out the color in the eroded hillsides. Sporadic rain rejuvenated grass and flowers sprinkled through out the scene giving this otherwise desolate landscape vibrancy of color and life. Impossible to capture in entirety I opted to capture this scene in a panoramic format with a hint of life revealing itself amidst an endless maze of canyons.
Photo Details:
Canon 1Ds Mark III, 90mm tilt-shift, 3-image horizontal panoramic

Badlands National Park is very beautiful.If you wish to travel back in time then there is perhaps no better place to choose for the hiking trip than the Badlands National Park. It is in the South Dakota. Here centuries of the wind and the water have carved out deep canyons where the dinosaurs once roamed millions of the years ago and where scientists today enjoy some of the world’s most extensive fossil deposits.
