Photographer's Note
Grand Geyser - Yellowstone NP
It was hard to decide which picture to post first, as we had seen so many different wonderful things in Yellowstone National Park. Eventually I went for a photo everybody would immediately associate with the park. What you can see on my picture is not Old Faithful - it is even bigger and maybe even more impressive -> Grand Geyser. We were quite lucky to see the eruption because Grand Geyser only erupts about every 10-15 hours (Old Faithful erupts approximately every 90 minutes!). And it was more than worth watching it. The fountain is about 60 meters high (it is the tallest predictable one in the world) and the eruption lasts up to 10 minutes. When we were there, it erupted three times after the other and "grew" higher and higher...something really amazing to see.
For everyone who intents to visit Yellowstone National Park, I can approve watching the eruption of Grand Geyser - you won΄t be disappointed !!! :D
I΄m glad of any advice or hint that could help me to improve my photography.

Hallo Jonas!
Tolles Bild dieses Phenomens.
Mir gefδllt die Kompo mit den Bδumen im hintergrund.Aber warum sind so viele abgestorben? Wegen der Hitze oder ist das Wasser salz-oder schwefelhaltig?
Guten Rutsch und alles Gute fόr 2009!
Ich bin dan mal weg........von Silvester bis 1.Februar in Indien,endlich Sommer.
Lieben gruί,Leo

I looking forward to going back again soo. thanks for this wonderful shot.

Hi Jonas,
Amazing! You trigger the shutter at the best moment, and achieved making a very good compo. It's a very catchy image, with great clarity and colours.
Happy New Year!

Hi Jonas,
Fantastic photo with excellent exposure! I really like the composition and the contrasts. Only the frame is a bit wide for my taste, because it reduces the maximum size of the photo and I would like to enjoy it in a bit bigger! ((:
TFS!
Happy 2009!!
Cheers,
Marci

Hallo Jonas! Was fuer ein Spektakel, da will etwas raus an die Luft :))) Ein dynamisches Bild und dieses Wasser-Dampf-Gemisch ist besonders attraktiv und gibt einen spannenden Kontrast zu diesem dunkelblauen Himmel, der nur da und dort ein paar Wolken hat. Ja in diesem Jahr wurden wir durch den Park gefuehrt, und jedes Bild hat wieder eine besondere Qualitaet. Hier gefaellt mir das Kraftvolle besonders gut. Tolles Foto! Mit den allerbesten Wuenschen fuer das kommende Jahr, auf weitere Bilder, auf weitere Reisen auf diesem Erdball ... Barbara.

Olα Jonas, quite interesting note about the timmings of eruption I didn't know about. Very impressive explosion, showing the strengh and energy of Nature. I like the horizontally making it off center and showing the view to the right but I also feel it's a bit tight on top.
Best regards and Happy 2009!

Hello Jonas,
Impressive phenomenon! I imagine it is a special moment when you are lucky enough to attend such an event.
The sky is superb (quite dark to the left)and the white geyser offer a great contrast.
You could also click on 'decisive moment'.
All the best to you during 2009!
Cheers,
Marianne
