corwinprescott: “Images for Mist”Custer, SD 2013We spent three or four days in Custer, outside of peak season, which turns the entire area into somewhat of a ghost town. Shops, restaurants, really everything with the exception of Dairy Queen closes before the sun sets, and you are left alone with many hours to kill. Alone with a big park to explore.The first three days, the weather was terrible for what I do, bright and sunny. I drove past so many spots thinking of the photos that could be on a cloudy day.We knew we were going to be staying long enough to get what we wanted at least according to the weather report. When we woke up on our last day to the sound of rain sprinkling against the tent and the temperature below 80°F, we sprung into action. I dropped my friend Steven off at Sylvan lake, so he could get a landscape he had been thinking about for days, and Vaunt and I took to Needles Highway, half in search of mountain goats (all we found was mountain goat poop,) and half in search of a place to shoot. On the right day the images make themselves. We found a nice nook between to massive summits. Vaunt holding this incredibly uncomfortable pose, while dangled precariously over a 600 foot drop as I snapped photo after photo as fast as I could.So much of photographing nature is just waiting for the right moment where the weather, sun, and location come together for you.Corwin Prescott - Nicole Vaunt - Print for Sale -- source link
