Almost a year ago I read Nikhil Bahl's article about being image driven or subject driven when taking pictures. It fell on fertile ground for I had gotten tired of producing clinical renditions of whatever my subjects were and started to try my hand on images that trigger an emotion or convey something conceptual. The idea of the image driven photograph, a picture that is a single unit instead of a composition from foreground, subject and background, sounded very attractive and I started looking for scenes that can be used for that.
The image here is such a scene. Obviously, there is still a subject, a geyser. But it is shown only partially and greater emphasis is given to the shapes and colors around it. So what I got is an image of one of the greatest American icons, Yellowstone NP, along with patriotic colors and a story about natural beauty. Which is a lot more than what a perfect rendition of the whole geyser would be able to do. At least for me. a7II, EF 135/2 @ f/8 A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.
