entry description
This photo was taken on Mount Semeru, and I started with a close-up time-lapse to capture the change in sky light behind the volcano, until the guide called out: there! Lava! I'll switch to 200mm for a close-up of the lava flowing down the crater. I took 33 photos and exposed them for 16 minutes. All the photos were de-dusting and then de-noised, and the stars in the picture were like tinder flying to the ground until one of them sent itself into the crater, allowing the volcano to spread its nutrients to the surrounding land.back to gallery
