Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken on the night of March 26, 2017 on the southern slope of Etna.

Time

The photo was taken at night to highlight the moving lava flow and the stars.

Lighting

That day on the Etna was undergoing a weak effusive activity, and I looked for a dark enough spot from where I could see the river of lava slowly descending from the top of the volcano

Equipment

To obtain this photo it is essential to have a sturdy tripod, also because Etna is often windy.

Inspiration

Etna is a good source of inspiration and a stimulus to experiment with new things.

Editing

Only the essential things in Photoshop (white balance, open shadows a bit, etc.)

In my camera bag

A camera, a tripod, two battery, a polarizing filter and an ND filter

Feedback

You have to search for a place with little light pollution and a good view
