Challenge: Free Study XII (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Sony DSC-P200
Location: Volcan Pacaya, Guatemala
Date: Aug 26, 2006
Aperture: 2.6
ISO: Auto
Shutter: 1/250
Galleries: Emotive, Landscape
Date Uploaded: Aug 28, 2006

This photo was taken on Volcán Pacaya in Guatemala. The volcanoes in the background are Volcán de Agua, Acentenango, and Fuego. I visited the active Pacaya with two Peace Corps Guatemala Volcanologists and had a bit of a ‘behind-the-scenes’ lava tour where I had free-reign with my camera. As the sun was setting and the colors were getting more vibrant in the sky, this flow disappeared, leaving me without the prime sunset volcano shot. Ohh well, next month!

A most unusual shot here than many/most of us will go a lifetime and never see.
Very nicely composed and shot, especially with the soft clouds - well done!

Hot lava, cool picture.

Where? Mexico? Indonesia? Hawai-i? (if there are conical volcnoes there...)

Very nice...it helped me to use the full screen function on my computer (F1 in Firefox anyway) so I didn't have to scroll up and down to see the image as a while. Once I did that, I love the stepladdeer effect, and the almost mystical shadowy landscape. Could possibly use a bit of detail in the middle, as it almost seems too blurry, but very nice composition overall.

great color in the lava. id like a little more clarity in the shot overall as it seems a tad cloudy but great POV.

freaking cool. this has great colors in the lava and an incredible background with the mountains and cluds. while i realy love everything in the photo i only wish it were in landscape. i am not sure if you could fit it all in without meltign your shoes though:)

This is something you don't get to experience everyday! (Or do you!?!?!?!) The sky is a little bright - I think that aspect of the photo could have been improved.

Cool shot. I bet it was tough to expose the lava and not blow out the sky too much. Nice going!

Cool. Ashame about the sky, but you were still able to get detail in the lava rocks in the foreground. 7
