The Bisti Badlands are 45,000 acres of awesome and the landscape changes with every hill that you climb over. You could wake up here from a weekend bender and swear that you're on another planet. Easily one of my favorite spots to shot as I find something new every time I venture out. Enjoy!

Tech:
-Sony ILCE-7r
-Zeiss Distagon T* 2,8/21 ZE
-Six shot panoramic
-PtGui -> LR5 -> CS6

Love this. Excellent choice of foreground elements and the drama in the sky makes the shot.
Congrats

6 shot pano with the 21mm ZE? Was some of it for focus stacking? In any case. . .
Wow! Your pic paid off in SPADES! Love everything about this!

Wow, that is nuts! Gorgeously captured.

Two things kinda bother me, though, one is the slight "bulbousness" of the panorama, towards the bottom more than the top; it just has a fisheye feel to it instead of a rectilinear feel to it, which doesn't seem to match the well-corrected sky. The other thing is the burning and dodging in the middle-right, the right-hand feature is a bit too brightened while the central shadowy spot is a bit too shadowy. I think bringing the two together (dialing back by 50% on whatever you've done to the scene) might help it all appear more natural.

Either way, it's a breathtaking scene, I hope to visit there someday!

Really appreciate the detailed feedback! I'll have to go back to the panorama and see how it got stretched and stitched on the bottom again. Nothing really jumped out at me but you make some good points, thank you!

Thanks Dave! It was six shots in portrait orientation that I stitched all back together so it wasn't focus stacked. There was quite a bit of foreground so I had to shoot pretty far down to get everything. Hope that helps!

The light bodes well with the gnarly landscape here. Nice job.
