First episode of my recent trip to the Badlands, in South Dakota. A very long trip from the Midwest: more than 1,000 miles and over 16 hours in 2 days to get there.
I used this first day to get to know the place and what to expect for the next few days. With a winter storm approaching, I had no time to waste.

You made some great photographs! And glad you have your shit with you!

[@aows]

Thanks! And yeah haha, it helped to have a lot of stuff.

[@HBMaverick]

Beautiful countryside, beautiful shots!

[@aows]

Thanks!

[@kalicond]

Man! Ya me gustaba la bronica de antes pero desde que llegué a tu canal estoy realmente emocionado. Espero en un futuro no muy lejano alcanzar una bronica sqa, es la cámara de mis sueños! Me gustan mucho tus vídeos, continúa compartiendo tu trabajo!!

[@josebainakielorriagaarriet2066]

Estoy contigo La pena es que en Ebay europa las cámaras de formato cuadrado están sobrevaloradas.....a mí justo me llegó para una TLR y encima achacosa....

[@aows]

Gracias, Juli! Es una muy buena camara, gande y pesada, pero merece la pena. Por desgracia parece que hay menos a la venta, o hay mas demanda, porque los precios se han disparado ultimamente. Espero que puedas conseguir una en el futuro, y gracias de nuevo!

Very nice work. Especially like your B&W shots. So much neat texture in the Badlands to capture. What did you use for the color shots? You mentioned that you were shooting digital for color.

[@aows]

Thanks, Dave! It's a beautiful place, but challenging to photograph. I was using a Sony a6000 and a a6500 for color photos.

[@josebainakielorriagaarriet2066]

Hermosos paisajes,pero no quisiera que me pillara el verano por ahí.Y serpientes......Curioso lo del peñón ese que hasta que te acercas no se adivinan sus verdaderas dimensiones...

[@aows]

Jeje, cierto, no me gustaria estar por alla a 40+ grados.
No tengo muy claro si las serpientes ya estaban merodeando a estas alturas del año, porque todavia hacia un poco de frio. Pero no me gustaria averiguarlo en primera persona. Casi prefiero encontrarme con un oso o puma que con una serpiente, no se porque pero no las puedo ni ver.

The trail was to the right of the boulder field lol i made the same mistake

[@aows]

Haha, good to know! The way I was going was pretty sketchy, I didn't think that was the trail 😅
