REFLECTIONS

WYOMING, USA

Image Number 191

The vast natural forest of Yellowstone National Park covers nearly 9,000 km2 . Yellowstone contains half of all the world’s known geothermal features, with more than 10,000 examples. It also has the world’s largest concentration of geysers – two thirds of all those on the planet).

The park is one of the few remaining intact large ecosystems in the northern temperate zone of the earth. All flora in the park are allowed to progress through natural succession with no direct management being practiced.  The park’s bison are the only wild, continuously free-ranging bison remaining.

Forest fires, if started from lightning, are often allowed to burn to permit the natural effects of fire assert itself.  This image, captured outside the park, shows trees killed in previous wildfires sharing their reflections with new growth.

TECHNICAL NOTES

Captured by Atticus Webb on a Zeiss Contax 645 medium format camera with Zeiss 80 mm lens.   The ISO rating was 35, thereby ensuring comprehensive detail.  File size 490 meg, 16 bit.  The image has been cropped to remove extraneous detail.  The colours have not been manipulated and correspond with transparencies exposed at the time on the same camera for reference purposes.

The image was registered on a Phase One IQ180 80 megapixel digital back.  The combination of sensor size and megapixels from this back captures approximately five times more detail than the highest resolution 35mm SLR camera currently available – and explains the high resolution of the image.
