BISTI BADLANDS Wilderness Area, New Mexico. 4k UHD Time-lapse

BISTI BADLANDS Wilderness Area, New Mexico. 4k UHD Time-lapse Photographed in two late afternoons, April 2019, this time-lapse video takes you to the beautiful, alien-looking landscapes of Bisti Badlands in northern New Mexico. The area was once a river delta that lay just to the west of the shore of an ancient sea, the Western Interior Seaway, which covered much of New Mexico 70 million years ago. The motion of water built up layers of sediment. Swamps and the occasional pond bordering the stream left behind large buildups of organic material. At some point, a volcano deposited a large amount of ash, and the river moved the ash from its original locations. As the water slowly receded, prehistoric animals survived on the lush foliage that grew along the many riverbanks. When the water disappeared it left behind a 1,400-foot (430 m) layer of jumbled sandstone, mudstone, shale, and coal that lay undisturbed for fifty million years. Sandstone layers were deposited above the ash and remains of the delta. The ancient sedimentary deposits were uplifted with the rest of the Colorado Plateau, starting about 25 million years ago. Six thousand years ago the last ice age receded, and the waters of the melting glaciers helped expose the layers of fossils and petrified wood. The area is mostly dry and desert-like, but occasional heavy rain and flash floods erodes the rocks into the thin spires which are called hoodos. Layers of harder rocks protects the mudstone below, which eventually erodes into hoodos. -- After a long drive from Colorado, I finally arrived Bisti Badlands main parking area in the late afternoon. Only two other cars were at the parking when I arrived. This is an area you can spend hours exploring without meeting other people. I was hoping to find the geological features called "The Cracked Eggs" before sunset, and had prepared myself with some maps printed from the internet to help me. I also planned to use my phone and GPS for more accurate positioning. I started to walk up the main wash - a flat and dry riverbed. My backpack was stuffed with three cameras, two tripods and a home-made time-lapse dolly, plus food and clothes for the cold hours after sunset. Having a look on the cellphone to get my position more accurately, I realized there was no network coverage, and unfortunately I had not downloaded any maps or apps that would be of any help. Passing by an slightly elevated area with several so-called "wings", I set up the cameras for the first time-lapses, seen at the end of the movie. I also managed to get a weak signal on my cellphone and downloaded an app with topographic maps of the US. After some fiddling with GPS coordinates I went to the "cracked eggs" area, but was a little bit stressed because the sun was about to set and I still could not find the "eggs". I set up one camera minutes before the sun went down, this is the opening sequence in the film. It turned out that the eggs were hiding a couple of hundred meters away from the exact GPS coordinates, and I found them right after sunset. Did a couple of blue hour shots of these strange geolocical creatures, which turned out to be pretty nice. Then I spent hours photographing the stars as the moon was rising, creating distinct shadows. Then it was time to go back. Walking for more than an hour in moonlight, I was happy when I finally found the parking area, because Bisti Badlands is such a vast area with lots of small and similar looking areas where you can get lost. -- The next day I was exhausted after last night's photography, and had to rest. It was already past dinner time, when I decided to have another go to Bisti, to try to find some of the other gems of this alien area. Went straight to the cracked eggs, about an hour of fast walking from the parking, and decided to go a bit further, where I found several beautiful petrified logs. It was cloudy and windy, and with this flat light, colours were grey and dull. But, right before sunset, a few rays of sunlight cracked through the dense layer of clouds, and I was able to capture the last rays of sun shining on top of a hoodoo, while at the same time, some miniature mammatus clouds passed by, as seen in the second clip. I went back to the Cracked Eggs where I met another photographer, Anthony Marko from Phoenix.

I actually used 30 out of 33 sequences in this movie, concentrated around the cracked eggs. Bisti Badlands is so much more, so go there to explore for yourself!
