bisti badlands

I was going through images I had taken over the last year and this one caught my eye.

I visited Bisti Badlands this past weekend, what a fascinating place. Plan on revisiting in November in hopes to get better shots (hopefully more cloud cover).

Recently in the Bisti Badlands area as I was hiking in for sunrise I was watching the skies as things were rapidly changing. I saw these anti-crepuscular rays going off. I have learned to shoot when you see something special because you never know how long it will last. So I stopped at this...

Back in the Bisti Badlands area, as I was hiking in for sunrise I noticed this one last star in the sky. I couldn't stop for long as I didn't have much time before sunrise, but I did take about a dozen shots from a few different compositions. All comments are welcome, Jim

Just a cloud made all the difference. In an area south of the Bisti Badlands in New Mexico, after spending a few hours shooting the sunrise and working the early light on a pretty cloudless morning http://www.focalworld.com/index.php?threads/sunrise-splendor.1260/ I decided that I would test...

This is from south of Bisti Badlands in New Mexico last year, the back story for this image is described in this previous thread. http://www.focalworld.com/index.php?threads/morning-glory.599/ It was an exhilarating sunrise, and actually one in which I am now glad I was a bit late getting to...

A few miles south of Bisti in New Mexico is another really cool area of even stranger rock formations. This was taken recently on my way back from fall colors in Colorado. There wasn't any real clouds for sunrise, but there was some moisture in the air, and some really neat Crepuscular Rays that...

The Alien Eggs of the Bisti Badlands are such a unique and different geological area. The photos make it seem like they go on forever, when in fact it's a long strip of them maybe 20 feet wide by about 100 feet long. So compositions usually go one of two ways in order to fill the frame with the...

This isn't Bisti Badlands in New Mexico, but it's not far from it. I had been up late shooting stars the night before and so when I woke before dawn and looked outside it was pretty cloudy and easy to talk myself into staying wrapped up in my sleeping bag. But the "What ifs" started nagging at...
