March 2025 - Yellowstone Hot Spring
About the Image(s)
I spent the first week of February in Yellowstone National Park on a photo workshop, photographing animals and scenery, and learning how to capture sharp photographs while it is snowing and with the proper exposure for the white background. It was very challenging but fun and rewarding. It is amazing how little color there is with the snow and trees that look black, particularly under overcast skies. This hot spring offered some color under one of the few moments that we saw blue skies. The temperature was below 20 degrees F or the entire week. ISO 250, 24mm, f11, 1/250s
