I returned to the Yellow Mounds area of Badlands National Park for sunset golden hour photography on my third full day in this area.
I had to watch closely to keep my shadow out of a number of my late day images. Looking closely, one can see the shadow of that foreground Rabbit Bush on the far side of the ravine.
That’s it for this shoot,

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
