Thank you.
Pics 1 and 2 were pretty much your run of the mill shots taken in the Upper Geyser Basin. Nikon D810 with a 24-70 2.8 The first shot was pure luck that the geyser erupted while I was there.
Picture 3 took a little bit more planning. I had to try and figure out roughly when the next eruption would happen based on the approximate 90 mins between eruptions that were posted in the visitors center. The center closed at 4pm and I wouldn't shoot until 9pm or so. Nikon D810 with the 20mm 1.8
I used my headlamp to find a good spot on the boardwalk that lined up Old Faithful and the Milky Way. The challenge is that you don't really know where the geyser exits the ground when it's pitch black. I setup the shot as if I was taking a normal astro shot. From there I just waited around until I heard the geyser go off as I couldn't see it. In a perfect world I would have been about 10 feet to my left but I wasn't going to wait another 90 minutes at temps around 0 degrees F.
