Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, at Kilauea’s East Rift Zone showing lava’s point of entry in to the ocean. Kalapana, Big Island, Hawaii, USA.

Time

6:23 PM

Lighting

Photographed in the early evening to capture the erupting lava and clouds. A cloudy day is preferable to bright sunlight in order to get the maximum details.

Equipment

I used Canon EOS 20D, Canon 28.0-135.0 mm @ 28.0 mm., Manfrotto tripod.

Inspiration

Kilauea had been erupting for over 20 years, but every time I traveled to the Big Island, it went underground. In 2008, I was finally in the right place at the right time.

Editing

Shot RAW. I adjusted the light/contrast, sharpened. Enhanced the eruption.

In my camera bag

I use only Canon equipment EOS70D, EOS80D. 3 zoom lenses. 100-400mm. 28-135 mm. 18-55mm. Manfrotto tripod. Manfrotto Backpack 50. B+H ND Filter 8x.

Feedback

For this type of shot, I wish I could stay on location 24 hours, from sunrise to sunrise. The volcano offers a lot of incredible moments and the more time you spend there, the more you have a chance to capture something unique. When I was there, the viewing area had a party atmosphere with hundreds of people talking and having a good time. My advice is to concentrate on your photography and save the socializing for later. If you get distracted by conversations, you might lose that once-in-a-lifetime shot.
