Behind The Lens

Location

It is from the eruption which started march 19th 2021 in Geldingardalir Valleys at Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland

Time

Around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Lighting

It´s just natural lighting.

Equipment

This was shot on my new Samsung 21.

Inspiration

It was after a long 2 hour hike up a steep mountain trail that me and my sister laid eyes on the magnificence of natures force as a new. Volcano is being born. We stood in awe, mesmerized by the sight, as other people were, some standing others sitting, eating their lunch, watching the crater spout gushes of lava into the air and flowing down into the valley. I took many photos and this was my favorit. Hope you will enjoy it too. The eruption has lasted for 7-8 months but today it has almost become inactive.

Editing

Added contrast.

In my camera bag

As I am visually impaird (no sight on left eye & 17% sight on my right eye) I have had to choose my Samsung21 camera over my usual Canon cameras due to a much bigger and better screen on the former.

Feedback

For someone with a handicap of vision like me my advise to photographers is to never give up on your creativity. We might have periods taking "bad shots" but do not let that keep you from growing and evolving your future photography. Carpe Diem! / Seize the Day!
