The path to Photographers heaven

It's been on my list for F..ing ever and now I finally made it to the Bisti / De-Na-Zin Wilderness Area in New Mexico as part of my most recent photography trip to see the video on Youtube follow this link.

In the past years, I have been photography with friends in the US when meteor showers hit the strongest. So I was traveling to the US again in the summer of 2022 and decided to also pay a visit to the Bisti Badlands. As you will see it was absolutely worth the 8-hour detour.

Walking into the area I have seen multiple fabulous photo opportunities just the first ten minutes into the hike. Specifically for light painting, photographers tend to appreciate not too big formations, because one can easily light them up. This is perfect here at Bisti.

Because of a thunderstorm coming into the very region I was in I only got to shoot one of the three spots that I had planned to spend some time with. The good news is that I will have to go there again and feature the remaining parts. Stay tuned.

Here you will see some highlights of the scenic route I took, you'll see some impressions of the area, and some drone footage to enjoy. Through this, I hope you get an idea of what to expect when you plan your visit.

In den vergangenen Jahren habe ich mit Freunden in den USA fotografiert, wenn Meteoritenschauer am stärksten runter gekommen sind. So reiste ich im Sommer 2022 erneut in die USA und beschloss, auch den Bisti Badlands einen Besuch abzustatten. Wie Ihr sehen werdet, hat sich der 8-stündige Umweg absolut gelohnt.

Als ich in die Gegend ging, habe ich bereits in den ersten zehn Minuten der Wanderung mehrere fabelhafte Fotomotive gesehen. Gerade beim Lightpainting schätzen Fotografen eher nicht zu große Formationen, da man dies dann gut ausleuchten kann. Das ist hier bei Bisti perfekt.

Da in der Gegend, in der ich mich befand, ein Gewitter aufzog, konnte ich nur einen der drei Spots fotografieren, an denen ich einige Zeit verbringen wollte. Die gute Nachricht ist, dass ich noch einmal dorthin muss, um die verbleibenden Spots zu shooten. Bleibt dran.

Hier seht Ihr einige Höhepunkte der malerischen Route, die ich genommen habe, Sie werden einige Eindrücke der Gegend sehen und einige Drohnenaufnahmen zum Genießen. Ich hoffe, dass Sie dadurch eine Vorstellung davon bekommen, was Sie erwartet, wenn Sie Ihren Besuch planen.

In the next weeks, I will feature some of the shots seen in this video. Also, I plan on writing up a proper blog article on how to get there, etc.

Here you see one of the overview images showing off a larger part of the area. So you get an understanding of what this looks like.

In den nächsten Wochen werde ich einige der Aufnahmen zeigen, die in diesem Video zu sehen sind. Außerdem habe ich vor, einen richtigen Blog-Artikel darüber zu schreiben, wie man dorthin kommt usw.

Hier seht Ihr eines der Übersichtsbilder, dass einen größeren Teil des Areals zeigt. So bekommt Ihr ein guten Eindruck wie es hier in Bisti aussieht.

I hope you found these images inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.

If you think this is Spam, why did you read this far and why the fuck bother you? Move on from your self-righteous mind state and bury yourself. Don't bother about what others may find interesting. Just stay in your bubble and ...

All there is left to say is Cheer Up!
