White Dome In Eruption (vertical)

This is one of my favorite thermal features in Yellowstone. It's not overly huge and the eruptions don't go so high. But you can catch an eruption at nearly any time of day and they always look good. I was practically standing in the road as I made this exposure in September 2009. I guess my favorite thing about this photo is the little runoff stream that meanders down from the geyser cone, to the bottom right corner of the image. I'm a big believer in using the corners of the frame when doing landscape photography. You don't force it, obviously, but if it works within the composition, I think it adds a strong, dynamic force to the image.
