Great Fountain Geyser Yellowstone National Park

[LucyLou]

While visiting Yellowstone we drove by the Fountain Geyser and learned it was about time for an eruptions. Well, "about time" took over an hour but we waited - watching it bubble an burp.  The wait led to peak eruption at sunset.  It made for a nice photo.  I bumped my F stop up hoping to get a nice star burst.  I didn't get that but overall, the setting sun made for a nice composition.  

Any tips for how I might have gotten a real star burst?

Thanks Danny. It was worth the wait, for sure.

Great shot and you positioned yourself very skillfully to get the light just right.
