About the Image(s)
On my recent trip to the Badlands - which was my third - we actually had overcast skies and light precipitation. This is unusual as the region is very arid. The result was I saw colors in the landscape that are not as apparent in the normally bright conditions. I have always liked the shapes and textures in the Yellow Mounds formations which as different from the jagged formations closer to the Interior entrance to the park.
This image was captured at the beginning of Ocotber. I used the Canon R5 with a 16-35 mm lens. The camera was handheld and this original is a single exposure. ISO 400; f/16; 1/80sec.
I processed the image in NIK Viveza and Color Efex Pro and OnOne. I did not keep a record of all the filters I applied, but my "go to" filters are usually skylight, and tonal contrast in NIK and a warm-cool filter in OnOne, so I assume that is probably what I did here. Suggestions for improvement will bge appreciated.

I believe that the textures of both the sky and the Yellow mounds add to the quality of the final image. To me complementary blues and yellows can often result in a stark rendition but these tomes work nicely together.
Some might suggest that you pull out the red tones more. But from my experience I would leave them as you have them.   Posted: 01/04/2022 09:41:26
