Description
As most of you know I recently returned from a pair of trips to Badlands National Park in southwestern South Dakota east of the Black Hills. Its an incredible place full of jagged rock formations and incredible landscapes. In the day light and especially at night by the light of the moon, the place can take on a very otherwordly appearence making it feel like you are on another planet. For this scene my friend Tyler climbed on rock formations. As I was walking around below looking for compositions when I saw his shadow in a dry creek bed. I set up below silouetting him on the rocks with the moon. When the shutter closed and the preview appeared on my LCD I almost laughed. It looked like a person standing on the moon or some other foriegn planet with stars behind. Let me know what you think!
