About the Image(s)
On a recent trip to Montana and through Yellowstone National Park I photographed Mammoth Hot Springs from a different vantage point. This was taken from a pullout on the main road and is actually the side of the hot spring. Water was actively flowing off the rim and had formed these beautiful "hummocks." Not sure that is what you call them but that is the word that came to my mind to describe them. Taken with my Sony 7RM5, Tamron 50-400mm lens at 368mm. ISO 50, shutter speed 1/20 sec at f/32 using a tripod. I used a slower shutter speed to slow the motion of the water. This was taken in the middle of the afternoon so I had to do all I could to decrease the light short of putting on a ND filter. It was overcast so that helped.

Fascinating image. The patterns of the water produce an illusion of multiple exposure. The colors are very pleasing, and your sharpening works very well. I might try cropping out the sky for an even more unique and puzzling image. Posted: 10/05/2025 20:47:08
