Doug Gorsline > This photo of dead lodgepole pines was taken with a Mamiya 645 and the Mamiya 24mm full-frame fisheye lens. Here I took advantage of a wonderful fall sky, late afternoon sun, and some dramatic dead snags, and added another level of drama with the full frame fisheye. Many people look at fisheyes as a gimmick, but I see them as a very useful artistic tool.
Doug Gorsline > This is Black Pool, a hot spring at West Thumb Geyser Basin. This photo was taken with a Mamiya 645 and the Mamiya 24mm full-frame fisheye lens. Here, the use of the fisheye allowed me reveal the depths of the pool while placing the Black Pool in the context of its surroundings. Many people look at fisheyes as a gimmick, but I see them as a very useful tool.
Doug Gorsline > This photo of world-famous Lower Yellowstone Falls in Yellowstone National Park was taken on a very drab September day. In fact, it was snowing a short time before I shot this picture. I took advantage of the ability to boost saturation in Photoshop in order to arrive at a result that more closely matched the iconic image we carry in our minds of this scene.
Doug Gorsline > Sheepeater Cliff in Yellowstone National Park is a textbook example of columnar basalt. This cliff face is located a few miles south of Mammoth on the Mammoth-Norris Road. Sheepeater Cliff is composed of columnar basalt. When flows of basalt cool, natural hexagonal jointing develops in the rock. When erosion exposes the rock, it weathers into these dramatic columns.
Doug Gorsline > White Dome Geyser in Yellowstone National Park is one of the more reliable geysers. I shot this back in the day when I used film and a medium format camera. Getting this shot involved a certain amount of patience - waiting an hour for the eruption - and then a few moments of frantic cranking and shooting. Fortunately I had a good sky and and late afternoon sun. White Dome Geyser is located in the Lower Geyser Basin on Firehole Lake Drive.
Doug Gorsline > Geyserite is a mineral that is deposited by the thermal features in Yellowstone National Park. The last time I visited, I shot a lot of abstractions with my Mamiya 645. I was happiest with this one, but I came back feeling like I had missed the mark. I've seen plenty of other photographers' attempts to do this intriguing subject justice, but I have yet to see a showstopper.
Doug Gorsline > Warm September light, a late afternoon sun casting long shadows, and an artistic scattering of clouds help turn what could be a mundane snapsshot into an evocative scene. This boardwalk is located in Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. The town in the valley below is Mammoth which houses Park Headquarters.
Doug Gorsline > My last visit to Yellowstone National Park a few years ago was in September. Each morning the cold air would give rise to mists that hung over the Madison River. I worked hard to get a few shots I was happy with, and I would sure like to go back and give it another go.
