[Illustration: For the Camera Fan]
Yellowstone has everything for the camera addict but the park presents
some subjects rather difficult to capture satisfactorily.
In either color or black and white the geysers are best photographed
with quartering or slightly back light. Use panchromatic film and a
fairly strong yellow filter or even a light red filter.
Color shots of Old Faithful are best made very early in the morning or
late in the afternoon. If you are lucky enough to catch a color shot of
an eruption against a sunset sky you will have a prize.
Hot pools demand considerable exposure to reproduce the color in the
depths of the pool. Do not waste time on hot pools if the day is cool
and steam obscures the subject. On such days the geysers give their best
photographic eruptions.
In shooting geysers use a fast speed. Expose for the white and let the
rest of the picture fall into a low key.
In using an exposure meter in Yellowstone, be careful to see that bright
areas in the foreground do not give a false reading.
