National Geographic photographer Ronan Donovan spent a year capturing the incredible wildlife of Yellowstone National Park for their issue dedicated entirely to its grandeur. We talked with him about the intersection of photography/film and science as well as how you go about setting up cameras to get realistic imagery of the animals.
