Drop of fire Photo

Photographer’s Note

Picture taken in the National Park Volcano in Hawaii, on Big Island. The lava of the volcano Kilauea is visible after approximately 1h30 of walk through old lava flows. It is necessary to leave during the sunset in order to arrive there when it starts to be dark. it is at this time that the shows starts. Not to forget a flashlight for the return in the middle of the night!

Pascal,
Nice shot but i think either the focus is off or you had a little shake with the zoom lens. Not sure if you used a tripod but this would have solved the sake problem. Still a really nice photo and love the title. Matches the photo perfectly.
Cheers
Peter

Pascal,
Your picture is good but not so original. Why didn't you go closer to the subject ? Was it really hot ? I think that on such a subject it was possible to make "the" photo, like seen in the National Geographic Magazine. Unfortunately you missed it for this time. Don't be disappointed, you'll get it next time !!!
I agree with PeterC, don't forget the tripod on your next holiday.
Cheers
Christian

thanks for bringing back memories of this sight. i have seen this myself in 1994 and was kinda afraid to get nearer it, hence no souvenir fotos. mother nature can be so frightful!
