Brees Lookout Sunrise

439 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Mammoth Lakes, California

Hot Creek hydrothermal system is in Mono County in the eastern Sierras in California. It is yet another gem on the Eastern Sierra. Mammoth Creek winds its way through the high valley with 11,000-foot peaks all around. While the primary water source is snow melt from the surrounding mountains as the water seeps into the ground it is heated by a hydrothermal system and through several springs comes back to the surface very warm.

In the valley in this VAST photo the hot springs form from two faults underground which discharge super heated water to the gorge. The area is very active and known to have sudden changes in geothermal activity. Some areas around the springs suddenly began shooting water up to 6 feet in the air. Other time steam vents have been known to open (or close) at random.

I created this image in the early morning just after sunrise. As it was very late in the summer the mornings were very cool and the steam from the vents could be easily seen. The green gorge and meandering river lead the view into the distant mountains that are just receiving the first light from the east.

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
