How to photograph hot springs
Steam is most visible on cold mornings; backlight from a low sun makes rising steam glow.
- Keep to boardwalks and marked paths — crusts around thermal features can be thin and the water dangerously hot.
- A polarizer brings out the colors of mineral terraces and microbial mats.
- Respect bathers' privacy: ask before including people at soaking pools.
- Wind direction determines where steam drifts; shoot from the upwind side to see the pool.
- Condensation forms quickly on lenses; let gear acclimate and carry a cloth.
Season: Winter gives the most dramatic steam; some primitive springs are only accessible in summer.
