介绍（中）	沃特金斯的技术精湛在约塞米蒂得到了磨练，第一次是在1861年，1865-66年，他作为乔赛亚·惠特尼的加州地质调查局的官方摄影师回来了。在他长时间逗留结束时，他已经掌握了笨重的相机（伸展时有三英尺长）和巨大的玻璃板的操作，这些玻璃板必须在暗室的帐篷里感光和显影，通常用骡子长途拉水。回到旧金山后，沃特金斯在阳光下直接把大底片放在蛋白打印纸上打印。他的非凡才华在当地得到了惠特尼、克拉伦斯·金和其他科学界人士的认可，在全国范围内得到了摄影媒体的认可，1867年在巴黎世界博览会上的获奖展览也在国际上得到了认可。 1868-69年，沃特金斯参观了旧金山以西30英里的法拉隆群岛，那里有海豹和海鸟居住的岩石露头。尽管渔民和商业鸟蛋收藏者经常造访这些岛屿，但在这张照片中，沃特金斯避免提及人类。这座三角形的岩石与邻近的岛屿隔绝，被描绘成仿佛是在创世的第五天，当陆地从旋转的海洋中露出时，海水中孕育出成群的生物。
介绍（英）	Watkins's technical virtuosity was honed in Yosemite, first in 1861 and again in 1865-66, when he returned as the official photographer for Josiah Whitney's California State Geological Survey. By the end of his extended stay he had mastered the manipulation of the cumbersome camera (three feet long when extended) and the mammoth glass plates, which had to be sensitized and developed in a dark room tent, often with water hauled by mules over long distances. Upon returning to San Francisco, Watkins printed his large negatives by laying them directly on albumen printing-out paper in the sun. His uncommon talent was recognized locally by Whitney, Clarence King, and others of the scientific community, nationally by the photographic press, and internationally through an award-winning display at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1867. In 1868-69, Watkins visited the Farallon Islands thirty miles west of San Francisco, rocky outcrops inhabited by seals and sea birds. Although the islands were visited regularly by fishermen and commercial collectors of bird eggs, in this photograph Watkins avoided any reference to man. Isolated from the neighboring islands, the triangular rock is depicted as if on the fifth day of Creation when, the dry land having emerged from the swirling sea, the waters brought forth swarms of living creatures.
