Resident of the least visited state in the nation.
On Friday, I took Camry to Dickinson for some work. I took the long way home with plans of landscape photography. Unfortunately, the sky clouded up as I headed west. I took pictures as I headed from Medora back home (70+ miles of gravel road through the badlands). They were terrible: just flat. Then, I got up by a ranch that belongs to some church friends, and for 5 glorious minutes, the sun came out and I forgot all my disappointment.
I was reduced to pictures like this at first:
Typical flat lighting in a forest fire area.
A road I like, but boring light.
A friend I made along the trip (most of this area is open range, so animals are not fenced out of the road).
Suddenly, glorious light. I was almost by my friends' driveway when the sun popped out. They get to see these next views every day!
To the extreme right as an abandoned 1-room school that my friends from this ranch all attended.
The Teepee Buttes
Just for fun, I tried out the 18mm kit lens that came with the camera. It really flattens the landscape, but it shows how big (and empty) it is.
