Ciao Inna!
J'ai vu que le français t'allait aussi...donc c'est parti! cette photo est superbe, le cadrage parfait! J'aime beaucoup les couleurs (?!?...les tons de gris en fait!) avec la touche rouge du magma en fusion, l'aspect de la matière est magnifiquement rendu...même la sensation de température ressort ici grâce aux fumées et à la vapeur. Merci!

Hi Inna, fantastic nearly B/W pisture on a color camera. Like the red lava traces. Where did you take it from. Getting down there was impossible when I was there, did you fly or take a boat ? Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Michael

Hi Inna,

Nice capture of natures fury. TFS!

ribeiroantonio (21723) 2006-09-26 18:30

As a geologist, I could not leave this photo without a little comment. It shows well the power of the earth and this world is in constant movement and change. It will be very different in many, many… millions of years. Don’t forget it and also don’t ruin it!!!

Can I skip all the normal talk of light and lines and such? Good.

This is really, really cool. Thanks for showing me a lava flow!

nwoehnl (118) 2006-09-27 7:17

Hi Inna. Again an impressive photo from this place, in which the natural spectacle of the powerful flows and smoke are well conveyed. The glowing red tones amidst the almost b&w surroundings make for a strong visual statement. Nice shot.

Paolo (40635) 2006-09-27 8:32

Hi Inna, another wonderufl and rare shot!

Excellent picture of the lava black and red plus the steam coming out of the sea.
Well done.

NellyD (1872) 2006-09-27 20:03

Hi Inna,

This is a really amazing and very powerfull shot.
The details of the lava, the smoke and the splashing of the water makes it a very unique shot.
Great job and thanks for sharing.

Greetings, Nel

Hi Inna,
unusual a place, fantastic view. Good POV and colours. I like this view a lot. Good job.
Gr., Aleksander

goodwill (4029) 2006-09-28 4:53

Ih Inna,
This is a master piece and must be part of the local museum. The nature is impressive and interesting and you have captured one of the most powerful scenes of nature. It sems so real and a rae specimen on TE.
Mine hearties congratulations for this post in B&W.
Rajeev

Hi Inna!

Incredible shot of an amazing natural pheonomenon. Very beautiful colour of lava in a black and white ambient. Very impressive! Congratulations!

Best regards,
Hercules

vincz (19039) 2006-09-29 3:52

Dramatic picture. Lava meets the sea, fire and water collide, giant struggle from the beginning of time. Very impressive shot. Congratulations!

Silvio1953 (40711) 2006-09-29 10:25

Hi Inna great photo, impressive, to construct a B&W with the single one lava red has been one great idea
Ciao Silvio

mbasil (2117) 2006-09-29 12:21

This is an amazing shot, Inna. The subject and all the technical things are really well done. It sounds like you did a great jb getting there. But I spend my time looking at the color. This doesn't look natural! Did you desaturate the colors other than red? If you did, my personal taste would be to back off the desaturation a bit because it looks un-natural; if not, you need to leave it like it is, it is really amazing.
Mike

pat0500 (21505) 2006-09-29 17:26

Hi Inna,
Very nice, the picture is really impressive.
The point of view is very good, good idea for B&W.
Congratulations, good shot..!
Une très belle galerie de photo que je viens de regarder.
Bravo pour l'ensemble, a bientôt.
Regards,
Patrick

Great Job, I have never seen a picture of such volcanic places but movies.
Very nice shot, so sharp and clear.
TFS & Good Luck,

Javad.

mphotographies (1976) 2006-10-02 21:38

Hey Inna,

Superb POV! Worth the hike and bravery to take this magnifiscent shot! Nice clarity and sharpness all throughout, I like how the light adds 'theatrics' to the steam and the 'monochromatic' effect due to the black volcanic ash and the fiery 'red' lava mounting to the surface! Well done using your zoom, well composed and presented here in TE!

BTW, Welcome aboard, your gallery is filed with great amazing landscapes! Are you sure you are a 'beginner'? You have an eye in seeing at nature and life around you!

Best Regards,

Jom

Hi Inna,
photo magnifique. J'aime le monochromatiqiue avec un joli contraste et un peu de couleur qui chauffe davantage la photo.
Bravo.

Mistral (13628) 2006-10-04 15:40

Hi Inna,
wonderful, dramatic, dynamic shot!
A nature wonder well managed in your image. I like the melting spot between the waves and the vapours...
A smile from Italy.

jverkamman (2291) 2006-10-05 15:06

Wow Inna, what a great photo.
I’like the red lava flow.
Good composition and sharpness.
Thanks for sharing.

Greets, Jack

Angelillo (9065) 2006-10-06 17:47

Hi Inna,

What impressive shot! I really like this monochrome mood, that enhance even more the red color of the lava flow. The viewpoint is amazing, and the water surface marvellous. Very big shot, very good! Thanks.

barni (14399) 2006-10-08 7:21

Bonjour Inna
Une composition très bien faite. Le choix du noir et blanc et le fait de garder le rouge du magma prouve que tu as de très bons gouts artistiques.
Salutations
Christophe

Jazator (900) 2006-10-09 4:09

супер, очень понравилось !!! замечательное место, было интерено увидеть !!! ещё интереснее увидеть без ЧБ обработки ;-)

hoorge (1434) 2006-10-10 13:34

What a once in a lifetime moment and capture. You are quite lucky to experience this. You have captured the lava flow really well with the waves, the red lava, the rocks and the smoke. Excellent composition and pov.

AmiBe (6042) 2006-10-11 13:36

Salut Inna,
une photo impressionnante d'un phénomène qu'on ne voit pas souvent sur TE.
ça valait la peine de marcher quelques heures pour voir cela... Je n'hésiterais pas un instant !

Hi Inna, first thanks to have added one of my picture in your favorites, it's an honor cause i had a look into them and such great names !!
I see that you are not uploading that much but each of yours are excellent, i discover your gallery and i love it.
this one is very original, we are not used to see on TE that kind of vulcano lava picture in sea !!
Great !!

cobraphil8 (11650) 2006-10-14 11:34

Bonjour Inna,
fantastique spectacle que tu nous offres sur un plateau...
Ces coulées de lave sont incroyablement esthétiques, et tout les séparent de la mer, leurs textures, leurs couleurs mais surtout leurs températures.
Bravo
Philippe

hi inna
What to say: Incredible, and a master piece in the blend of bw to coulours.. and then I have not commented the waves.. Interesting piece of work.

vagabondtravels (6097) 2006-10-20 8:51

Hello Inna,

Great pov. A very unique image. You did well freezing the water capturing the steam. The little bits of lava really make the shot. Good work.
Ben

Sorry :) dry.

oochappan (22024) 2006-10-20 21:19

Hi Inna, seldom you see such good application of a combi with B&W and this one is excellent to spot out the red lava, very well done.
Henk

partha (13655) 2006-10-22 1:32

Its just terrific shot. What an awsome atmosphere and the red coloured lave give a good variety of the overall colour balance.
Well done.
partha

alainh (35347) 2006-10-24 10:51

zeca (20024) 2006-10-29 10:24

Very well captured, Inna! Nice to see the nature exploding! Beautiful contrasts and that lava is something amazing!
Cheers!
Zeca

batalay (20680) 2006-11-06 12:51

Hello,

I am late commenting about this photo. All I am really doing is to join the chorus of admirers of your photos in general, and especially this one. I've seen the lava fields in Hawaii's Volcano National Park, but never as dramatically as your image reveals. Superb composition, and capture of nature in its full fury — molten rock, steam, water. Bravo!
Bulent

Henryk_Bilor (20365) 2006-11-07 3:40

Hello Inna
Impressive image! These rocks with the red lava are exciting. And the steam over it. Great captured the depression between the beach and the ocean. It looks like it started to sinking down...
Amazing picture, goes to my favourites :).
Regards

Vato_Law (11636) 2006-11-07 16:14

Hello Inna,
The couple of hours it takes to get to this point are very worth of it as we can get some fantastic photos like this one.
I like the natural phenomen you show us, the atmosphere created by all the smoke that is released and specially the fact that the lava flow was kept with colour creating a nice contrast with the rest of the photo!
Cheers.
Paulo

pasternak (12964) 2006-11-14 4:38

Привет, Инна! О, это еще круче, чем то, что я у Вас уже комментировал, потрясающее место и потрясающий снимок, красные языки лавы на фоне черных камней и бушующее море... Класс!

Счастливо
Саша

PS смайлик поставлю завтра, сегодня кончились... и у этой фотографии будет уже 100 очков:)

jlynx (11380) 2006-12-20 10:09

Hi Inna,
This photo is worse strange than previous. Also the strong, reporter picture with the accent of the interested experiment. I will admit that very to me pleases such treating of the fiery lava. Leaving of the best part of the picture in the technique B & W is here as most on the premises and to the state about the great intuition of the photographer.
Hearty and before a holiday already greetings,
Jurek

Albrecht (10912) 2007-04-25 14:29

Hi Inna
Very impressive scene; The red colour of the lava in the black stone is beautiful and all that steam too. Great shot.
greetings Albrecht
