Badlands Pano

sdankof · July 7, 2010

I was in Badlands NP in South Dakota for a couple days last weekend. Storms had rolled through the park and the rain was clearing briefly allowing for just a couple minutes of sunshine during which I captured some photos of a rainbow over the Pinnacles overlook.

I manually stitched 4 photos together in Photoshop after some failed attempts in The Panorama Factory. I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the sky quite yet. I think it seems a little hazy.

Details:
Camera: Canon EOS Rebel XTi
Lens: Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro
Focal Length: 17mm
Aperture: f/6.3
Speed: 1/200 sec.
ISO: 100

The Badlands is a pretty place. It's a land of extreme. Be a tough place to survive.

Beautiful picture.

Could be a great place to get lightning shots too! When I was a kid, we visited the park. We left on a short hike and within a matter of minutes, the sky darkened and the heavens opened. We watched a great lightning show

I spend alot of time in the Badlands and love to shoot there. I think I have about 2500 photos from the park. Something different around every corner, especially when you get out to hike.
Great shot, those occasions are rare to get a shot like that.

Excellent work. The sky may be a little hazy, but it seems natural for the lighting/setting in the image.
