Yellowstone landscape

I took this landscape shot in Yellowstone National Park. When the sun is very close to the horizon, its light diminishes significantly. Contrast is reduced, so elements that are lit with diffused light -- like the mineral flow here -- can be exposed with virtually the same camera settings as the elements lit by direct, but diminished, sunlight. I used a 100mm focal length for this shot, and the camera settings were 1/60, f/32, and 1000 ISO. It was essential to maintain sharp focus throughout the image, hence the small lens aperture.
