Fimmvörðuháls Volcano Vent

Nikon D80, 145mm@4.5, ISO1000

 

I promised yesterday that I would be posting more pictures of the Fimmvörðuháls volcano.

 

So without further ado I present to you: A close-up of the lava inside the Fimmvörðuháls volcano's active vent. It was taken a split-second after the lava shot up; you can still see a large lava bubble bursting violently. The photo was taken from about 150 metres way.

 

There are at least three more pictures worth showing. I will post them over the next few days, but I will save the best photo for last.

 

PS: I hate shooting at ISO1000. It just feels like a very unnatural ISO number.
