Grand prismatic spring

The grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone is a tough picture to take. It is too big for even my super wide angle lens to get it all. The blue glow above the blue water has to be seen to be believed. The vapors from the hot water do act as a prism of sorts.

The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park. Focused on a portion of it to contrast the red and the blue.

Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest and one of the most brilliant of Yellowstone’s many colorful hot springs. It measures 200 feet across and maintains a temperature of at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Which makes it a very steamy and smelly place. Thanks for checking it out. Other Samples of my work are displayed below.

If you can stand the smell of sulfer, this is one of Yellowstones most beautiful treats.

This spring is one of the iconic images of Yellowstone National Park. The best image I have ever seen of it was shot by Pete Saloutos, an aerial shot, and I think he said it took him and Look Magazine over 5 years to get the permits to get the shot. If you don’t have 5 years to plan, try climbing the hill adjacent to the spring when you visit. And pay attention to the color reflecting off of the steam of the spring as you walk in… it’s an etherial blue. Canon 40D, 24-105mm lens, tripod, circular polarizer, graduated ND filter p.s. Thanks to M&G for the research and encouragement!

Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone National Park, USA. A good example of polychromatic thermophilic bacterial mats thriving in the hot watery runoff from one of Yellowstone National Park’s most beautiful geothermal features, Grand Prismatic Spring. Notice the vivid blue steam rising above the hot spring. Canon 50D, Canon 10-22mm lens, sshutter 1/25, f/16, focal length 10mm, ISO 100, Manfrotto tripod, Wimberley II head. May 27, 2009

Yellowstone National Park’s Grand Prismatic Spring photographed from a hill overlooking the hot spring. Noontime sun and a polarizer emphasize the vibrant turquoise coloration in the spring as well as the polychromatic thermophilic bacterial mats sprawling outward from the spring. The bacteria thrive in the hot water runoff from the spring, defying the intensely near-boiling temperatures in which they survive. Grand Prismatic Spring is breathtaking, one of my favorite geothermal elements found in Yellowstone. Wyoming, USA. Canon 50D, Tamron 17-50mm lens, polarizer, shutter 1/40, f/16, focal length 33mm, ISO 100, Manfrotto tripod, Wimberley II head. May 27, 2009

Thought to be the largest hot spring in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. / It was named by the Hayden Expedition in 1872 because of its beautiful prismatic colours. / I was amazed to see this blue mist rising from the spring. Canon XSi with 18-55mm lens, f/8. 1/1000sec, ISO-200.

Midway Geyser Basin contains a small collection of mammoth-sized springs. Midway is part of the Lower Geyser Basin, but because of its isolated location between the main features of Lower and Upper geyser basins it became known as Midway. Source: http://www.yellowstonenationalpark.com/midway.htm

This prismatic spring in Yellowstone’s Midway geyser basin is amazing. The colours and steam can be seen from the ground next to it, but to get the best view you have to climb over the fallen trees on the opposite side of the Firehole river. The rainbow effect is caused because there is a gradient in both the temperature and pH of the water from the spring. Bacteria feeding on the nutrients in the spring produce slightly different pigments depending on the temperature. The pool itself is crystal clear and very deep.
