Sometimes epic grand scenic images don't do the best job of capturing a landscape, and what works best is focusing on more intimate details with a telephoto lens or a drone. The Badlands in Utah does have some wonderful epic landscapes (and I'll have a video coming up on shooting the grand scenics there) but on my last trip I really wanted to focus on putting together a group of images that focused on the more intimate and abstract aspects of this incredible landscape.
