WELCOME TO OUR 2025 DEATH VALLEY PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP – THE LAST ONE EVER IN DEATH VALLEY |Death Valley, the heart of the desert, with its huge variety of iconic, spectacular landscapes concentrated in a single Park is one of my favourite destinations on the planet. Where else could you find...

Lot's of rolling hills in the Badlands of South Dakota. It was a wet day, which was great as everything had a bit more color to it. All comments are welcome, Jim

The Badlands in South Dakota is a Good place to go photo! I really love road shots, and the road there curves a lot, so it can make for some great photos. All comments are welcome, Jim

It was mesmerizing to fly above this area that wasn't that interesting from the ground.

I flew my drone over this area a couple times and found the color better on overcast days, but the shadows this day lent some depth.

From west on the road in. Sunrise from Skyline Overlook From Skyline a bit later.

I took my drone up for a look around just outside Hanksville. Factory Butte behind.

On the East end of the Badlands Loop Road in Badlands National Park in South Dakota, you start to get these cool pinnacles of rocks that poke up. There is something about them that is captivating to me. This looked nice in color showing off the colors of the different layers, but I thought the...

The Badlands of South Dakota is an area I had heard of for years as a Landscape Photographer, and had been on my wish list for many years. With my daughter moving to Colorado 6 or 7 years ago, I was making frequent trips there and of course photographing along the way. It was 4 years ago I think...

I am going to petition the National Park to change the name of the Badlands of South Dakota to be changed to the Goodlands instead. :) This is an area I have been visiting once or twice a year for the last few years, and it has always been good to me. :) It's always nice when the day starts...

Something from this spring...an old favorite area. It's an Instagram thing these days and what was once a by yourself thing is now out and found out. I fear that it might be loved to death and destroyed, C.

I went to Badlands National Park in South Dakota last week. One of the cool things there is it is pretty easy to find Bighorn Sheep once you know where to look. This was a family of sheep that I followed on a parallel ridge a couple of hundred feet away as I was using my 150-600mm. That way I...

Something from this spring and only an 1/8th of a mile or so from where I was parked and camping, C.

This is my first post on this site. Jim Fox suggested that I might want to. I've seen some really nice images on this site. This particular image is from my recent trip to the Bisti which I have been visiting for the last 15 years or so, C.

I was flying around with Google Earth today grabbing some maps and views for a slideshow of our trip to the desert last year. Then I got the idea to fly over to an area I haven't visited yet, but many here have. I just wasted about an hour capturing images of this incredible area, then playing...

Snow melt stream in the Blue Mesa, Petrified Forest NP.

This is sunset at the Badlands of South Dakota last month. There was a cool layer of clouds in this direction catching the sunset colors that I looked pretty neat. It was a low layer of clouds though, it didn't cover much of the sky and was just along the horizon, so I went with a 16x9 crop to...

In the Badlands of South Dakota I came across this scene after sunrise. I thought it was so cool as I wasn't really thinking fall colors at this point and in that area. So it was an awesome surprise to know that I was getting a few more fall color images to add to this years collection. For...

At the Badlands of South Dakota a week ago I had a really awesome sunrise. I had colors probably in about 180 degrees which is enough to have given me a couple of different compositions to work with. Now this one I liked because the clouds seemed to kind of bridge over the land, and the land...

I got this a week ago in the Badlands of South Dakota. There is an area just before the Badlands when coming in from Wall that is called the Buffalo Grasslands or something like that. Well, there was no Buffalo or Bison there. But the moment we passed the entrance gate to the Badlands then...
