• Badlands 2016 Epilogue
Our South Dakota Badlands 2016 workshop is history and was an extraordinary cloudscape week. Being one of our perennial workshops (20 years), we are still surprised and uplifted at how the light touches this great land. The spirituality is palpable, especially at Sheep Mountain (in the south unit), where the lead image was made.
The lead image is the culmination of many years of working this scene waiting for the right conditions. This year, the clearing storm, moving clouds through the blue sky, and the late afternoon light shaft on the formation came together for the 4 minute exposure, using a 15 stop neutral density filter, to finally get the image I was seeing in my imagination.
The first image that made a deep impression on me many years ago was an infrared image. I didn’t know what it was or how it was made, but it’s what I wanted to do. My move into the invisible world of infrared has dramatically increased this year to where about 1/2 of my work is infrared. This work will be featured exclusively in our next blog.
We are always thrilled to have optimal conditions for our workshop clients and this year the Badlands were stellar. Following is a gallery from our 2016 Badlands workshop.
Badlands 2017 dates are Sept 10 -14, 2017. Please email Susan to register and for more information.
After 20 years of shooting and conducting workshops here, we always look forward to returning and sharing this great place with our clients. Aside from photographing, we have daily critiques and processing tips, along with always being available in the field for questions, help, and personal instruction.
