Storm Over Geyser Basin

This is a Hipstamatic image using the Madelena Lens and Uchitel 20 Film. In post processing TouchRetouch was used to remove unwanted details and then in ImageBlender layers were used to enhance the light.

 

This image is the result of being in the right place at the right time. I was on my way to Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. It was rainy, windy, and thick clouds covered the area. Across a broad meadow were these thermal vents and geyser. A break in the clouds put sunlight directly on that area, lighting up the steam yet leaving the background dark and moody. I immediately pulled to the roadside, jumped out of the car, and got two shots before the scene faded.
