[Geysers] Grand Prismatic on an iPad?

[ufreund at att.net]

The original article, which I cannot find online (probably in archives now)
that appeared in the Billings Gazette mentioned that two aircraft were used.
The photog hung his camera out the window of the upper one while
coordinating passes over the spring with the lower, yellow one via radio.
They made many passes to get this image.

 

One caption for the photo states: "Larry Mayer snapped this shot of Grand
Prismatic Spring while flying at 12,500 feet over Yellowstone National Park
July 10, 2010. The yellow Piper Super Cub floats through air below him at an
altitude of 9,200 feet."

 

GP Spring's elevation is 7270.  Since the yellow aircraft flew nearly 2000
feet above the spring I doubt a shadow would be in the image.  They are also
not directly above one another judging by the amount of rudder visible while
the yellow aircraft is assumedly in level flight.

 

A shadow distorted by heat and steam MIGHT be in the lower right of the
spring, but I kinda doubt it.

 

Therefore, I truly believe it was NOT photoshopped.  However, I do believe a
polarizing filter was used to enhance colors and reduce any glare.

Hello all,

 

Well, with the boardwalk on the north of GP and the sun to the south, the
shadow from the plane should be off the right side of the picture.  I think.
(therefore, I am... a geyser geek)

I don't think there's anything here that would detract from how spectacular
a shot this was, but was the plane edited in? There's something in the
proportions of the plane and the boardwalk that doesn't track the longer you
look at it, and would there be a shadow on Grand Pris? Pat and other
photogs, can you weigh in?

Best image of Grand Prismatic that I've ever seen: Billings Gazette chief
photographer Larry Mayer's image of a small plane flying over Grand
Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park was named 2010 Photo of the
Year by the Montana Newspaper Association.  It combines my love of both
geothermals and aircraft.

Well, it says you can provide your own photo.  Seems like this group ought
to be able to come up with something.  So, who's got the best photo of Grand
Prismatic that they'd be willing to share with the group?  Should be fairly
high-res, probably...

Hi everyone,

 

I'm hot to trot to get an iPad, and one of my concerns is how to protect it
from scratches and so on.

 

Enter Gelaskins, www.gelaskins.com, which includes artwork all over.
They've got a couple cool boreali or something in space, and so I looked to
see if they had a skin with Grand Prismatic on it.  They don't , but that
doesn't mean they couldn't.  I just now wrote and requested it, saying that
many here would also be interested.  (They make skins for various phones and
tablets, so not to worry if you own something else.)

 

Anyway, visit the site, see what they've got, and make a request.

 

Hope to see some of you in the park this summer,

 

Lucille Reilly
