An oldie of Visiting a live volcano in Java Indonesia, Gunung Bromo or Mount Bromo. We were high up on another mountain which the jeep drivers took us up starting around 2am to catch the sunrise. Down below they have some dirt rods as well as a temple near the stairway leading up the volcano.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at one of the hotel resorts that is near Bromo Mountain on the eastern part of Java island in Indonesia.

Time

I believe the shot was taken late afternoon, sunrise and sunset are almost the same all year, and I think by 6pm it's already dark

Lighting

I've heard about Gunung Bromo, and always wanted to see the live volcano.

Equipment

At the time I used an intro Nikon fx camera and 18-55 kit lens. I also had a tripod

Inspiration

I've seen great photography of the mountain in the past and was fortunate to have been there twice

Editing

My post processing is very minor. Sometimes a little cropping and light adjustment

In my camera bag

Now a D700, 50mm f1.80, 28-80mm, 85mm f1.8 Nikon flash, Metz flash as well as a Manfrotto tripod

Feedback

When arriving it's an early sunset. If seeing the mountain up close you have to have a guide take you early at 2:00am. They'll take you to an observation area, but it's filled with tourists all seeing the sunrise from the same area. Once finished they'll take you down the mountain to the base of the volcano. There's a lot of walking up and down the trails even with the you guides driving a good portion of the way.
