After my early morning sunrise session, I scouted other areas along SD Route 240 for potential sunset today and/or sunrise locations tomorrow morning. As typical, I used my iPhone for the scouting photos, so that I could move around more easily, unhindered by heavy camera gear.

My first scouting stop was a viewing area designated as “Yellow Mounds Overlook”, where I climbed a steep slope to check out the views from a higher elevation, after scanning the area from the parking lot.



I continued along SD 240, stopping to check out the views from other pullouts.



At each location, I made a number of images, testing compositional variations. This post contains a few selected images from a few of those stops.


Until next time,
Ken
