400 Colors of the Earth Photo

Photographers Note

Colors of the hot pots in Yellowstone National Park, WY.
A mix of minerals, algae and bacteria create these amazing patterns in the many hot-steam areas of the park.

Scanned from Velvia 100

ps. I just realized this is my picture number 400 here on TE.

Hi Stefano,
I really like this detail! It is like view of earth from miles and miles away, looking from space...
Layers of colors are amazing and white framing looks good with them.
Thanks to nature for its amazing colors and thanks to your eyes for seeing and presenting this detail with probably the most appropriate title.
Best wishes,
Burcu

...last minute addition, congrats for your 400-photo-gallery, wish you 500th, 600th and more... :)

hi Stefano,
even before opening the thumbnail I knew this has to be Yellowstone :) nowhere else can you see these most bizarre colours and textures, and I quite like how the curving lines create an impression that this is a huge pot slowly stirring and boiling. nice :)
and congratulations on #400 :)

regards,
Kristine

Ciao Stefano,
complimenti per le 400 foto, quello che si evince da questa foto e' che il digitale non e' ancora riuscito ad avere queste belle tonalita' calde e intense che aveva ed ha la Velvia.Bellissimi i colori
ottima anche la scansione

Hello Stefano! You are an incredible photographer and I enjoy many of your posts. If I am not writing it does not mean that I am not looking in sometimes and enjoy what you offer. This photo tells a million stories, old as the earth and you can look for a long time and find your own interpretation. 400 ... well this is a big number when it comes to TE ... Happy weekend to you, Barbara.

Hi Stefano,

congratulations for your 400 picture on TE and also for this beautiful one. The mix of colors is incredible and you succeeded to get all very sharply. The picture looks like an abstract painting and could be well hanging on your (or mines) wall ;-)

Regards,
Edi

be', allora complimenti per il traguardo e per la scelta!
a parte i colori che sono incredibili (fantastica Velvia), la cosa che mi intriga di piu' di questo scatto e' la mancanza di punti di riferimento dimensionali: potrebbe essere una zona molto vasta, vista dall'alto, oppure un close-up as un paio di metri di distanza...
veramente interessante.

Hello Stefano,

What a great and appropriate title for this shot! Abstract expressionism, expressionist abstraction...earth as a painter. Masterly shot, really excellent.

With my congratulations on your 400!

BElla Ste, davvero. In piccolo non avevo capito nulla. Aperta la foto e visto il commento sono rimasto a bocca aperta. Auguri, 10000 altre di queste foto.

Brilliantly seen and captured.
Superb.

lestans (15486) 2009-03-02 3:59

Hai sempre colori splendidi, e questa foto č l modo giusto per celebrare le prime 400!
Yellowstone deve essere un posto magnifico.
Qui mi sarebbe piaciuto un omino per capire la dimensione; o forse hai ragione tu a non metterlo, cosě il risultato č piů astratto.
Ciao!! Complimenti!!!

Livia

Ciao Stefano,
Una vera meraviglia di grafica e di colori che hai quadrato per questi 400 e foto. Un simbolo grazioso e clin d'occhio per trekearth.
La luce č molto bella con parti piů o meno illuminate.
Mi piace molto!
Buon fine de settimana
