Soda Springs, Tongariro Photograph - Limited Edition of 9

A beautiful misty and moody shot of the small waterfall at the base of a natural water spring, flowing over an ancient lava flow. This lies at the top of the Mangatepopo Valley, and marks the start of The Devil’s Staircase on approach to Mt Tongariro and Mt Ngauruhoe on the famous Tongariro Crossing walk, in The North Island of New Zealand. It was an unseasonably cold and misty day in January 2017 when this was taken, and evokes perfectly the crisp alpine air of the region. Tongariro National Park, New Zealand, January 2017 Shot on Fomapan 400ASA 35mm film. The image has been professionally scanned from the original 35mm negative, and printed using archival pigment ink on resin-coated Kodak lustre photographic paper. The black border indicates a full-frame uncropped image. This image is also available as a handmade darkroom print using traditional photochemical techniques and archival toner.
