When I do book/print signings at Old Faithful, I enjoy arriving early to spend time wandering the various geyser basins. Lion Geyser has always been one of my favorite geysers, whether from up close on the boardwalk or from the paved path that runs in front of the Inn. I think I prefer photographing it in the morning from the pave path with a telephoto lens. I love compressing the scene with the geyser in eruption backlit by the rising sun. Lion Geyser doesn’t have a prediction posted so it’s highly variable if and when one might see it. I’ve photographed a few eruptions under these conditions, now if only I could get a herd of bison to graze in that meadow!
