Island Creation

Shooting the lava ocean entry was no easy task. It was a constant battle with steam, timing the shutter, and hoping for a clearing to see the lava. For this shot I wanted a close up crop of the lava making its way into the ocean. Zooming all the way in I focused solely on the edge of the bench where the lava rolled into the ocean. I did not get to see the dripping lava action that I really wanted but this rolling action was quite eventful as well. I took many shots trying to get the timing right and hoping for a clear scene. Eventually the steam cleared for a short span and the red lava glowed intensely against the blue backdrop of twilight. Thanks again to Lava Light for taking us out and showing us an amazing time!
