There is a gravel road from Interior, SD that goes into the Badlands NP, connecting to SD 240. I took this road, intending to go all the way to SD 240 and shoot sunset images in the same grassland area from which I had shot earlier this morning, when the sky was completely overcast.
This gravel roadway was very washboarded over long intervals, when I drove it, requiring slow driving. As I got nearer SD 240, I began to realize that it might be better to shoot from a grassy area to the east of the gravel roadway, rather than going back to my morning location.
I had plenty of time prior to sunset, so I pulled over to scout nearby.
The big clouds are still hanging around, which bodes well for sunset shooting today.
After walking around this grassy area and shooting a few scouting images, I decided that this would definitely be a better area from which to shoot than where I had planned to go.
Stay tuned for the results of todays sunset shoot,
Ken
Looks like an awesome September day! Great clouds … hope they stuck around for sunset. I went to the Badlands in the spring 4 years or so ago. It was a pretty green year.
PS/FYI — Tried making this comment using an iPhone and it was not possible. The box was not large enough to fit the whole comment so I could not see the entire comment. There was no ‘post comment’ button. I saved the comment and went to my usual way of looking at blogs … by computer.
Thanks, Denise. I’ve never tried to comment on WordPress via iPhone, but I find using my iPhone to comment on other sites awkward, especially if I make a mistake or want to edit my comment. I often abort and revert to my computer, as you did.
I think a lot of viewers do use their phones (unfortunately). I use the computer 95% of the time for blogs but I use my phone for FB. I can only sit behind a computer so much!
