Night Lava Flow

Photo taken from boat at night as lava flows in to the Pacific off the coast of Hawaii. NOTE: A one stop soft GND filter was applied to the left and right of the lava to bring out some of the shadows that were visible at night; even though they are not pronounced they do add to the awe of the lava flow that we saw that evening.

Dawn of Creation

Photo taken from boat at dawn as lava flows in to the Pacific off the coast of Hawaii. From this vantage point you are close enough to feel the heat and smell the sulfur fumes from the active flow as you bob up and down 50 ft from shore. NOTE: No major edits were made to this photo.
