South Dakota, a state boasting a veritable array of photo ops. In this

often quaint but never dull slice of America, you’ll encounter stunning

landscapes of plains, prairies and mountains, historic landmarks of

battlegrounds and presidential ﬁgures, and majestic wildlife roaming

free—all alongside Nikon professional photographers Layne Kennedy and

Mark Alberhasky. Glean some of their knowledge and use your own eye to

create images that will forever enhance your portfolio.

The photo journey will begin at Badlands National Park, an absolute

must-see for photographers keen on landscape and nature shots.

Sometimes undulating, sometimes rugged, the topography of Badlands is

as distinct as it is breathtaking—from carved spires and jagged buttes to

deep canyons and grass prairies. Your lens will also have a chance to spot

several remarkable and unique animals amid the more than 64,000 acres

are considered wilderness: bighorn sheep, bison, antelope and black-

footed ferrets. Capture images of this well-preserved land so richly steeped

in thousands of years of Native American culture, and compose a true

portrait of American history.

Traveling into South Dakota’s Black Hills, turn your lenses to the

spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife of Custer State Park. Towering

rock formations, such as the famous Needles, make for jaw-dropping,

frame-ﬁlling sights. As for wild animals, there is no shortage here—with

its famous herd of 1500 free roaming bison, prairie dog towns, elk,

deer, mountain lions and feral burros, you’ll have ample opportunity to

photograph several species against the backdrop of their natural habitats.

No visit to South Dakota would be complete without setting sights on

Mount Rushmore. Practice shooting this historic monument from unique

angles, and capture the true grandeur of one of the most beloved icons of

America. Be sure to take advantage of the other photo ops available at this

landmark, among them the varied bird population, such as turkey vultures,

bald eagles, hawks, and meadowlarks, as well as the colorful spring ﬂora

of snapdragons, sunﬂowers and violets growing along the walking paths

in the park.

Near Hot Springs. in the Southern Black Hills, spend a full day at

the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary, a picturesque place reminiscent

of an America centuries ago—an unending vista of pristine prairie land

stretching to the horizon where wild horses roam free. Whether taking

fast-paced action shots of mustangs galloping across a shallow river or

capturing a calmer scene of a mare and her colt quietly grazing, you’ll

leave with amazing photos that speak of this region’s true character.

Open your lens to the glorious sights of South Dakota, where the

heart and history of America awaits. Sign up today for a photo trek

you’ll never forget!
