This is the Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone Park. It is a thermal pool with hot water constantly entering from the bottom.
This was shot about 25 years ago with a Minolta SRT-101A on Kodak Ektachrome 80 slide film.. Not sure what lens was used but probably a Minolta 55mm f1.2 prime. This was my first real experience using a polarizer. Without the polarizer, the reflection and steam rising from the surface completely hid the colors in the bottom of the pool. Made a believer out of me!  Cal |

Cal,
I've seen this blue effect at Yellowstone and some thermal hot springs in Japan. In Japan it's caused by some algae in the bottom of the pools. This scan job from a slide shot is execellent. You obviously archive your slides very well. Ecktachrome is hard to beat in these situations Nicely done. Aloha |

If you could see the pool from the top, is is shaped like a Morning Glory flower.
