entry description
Lanzarote is a small volcanic island characterized by a rugged landscape and a significant presence of craters scattered throughout the territory. The most impressive and prolonged eruption in the island's history occurred between 1730 and 1736, bringing to light 100 volcanoes along an 18 km strip, covering nearly a quarter of the island and destroying villages and agricultural lands. In this shot, I aimed to capture one of the volcanic alignments that characterize the landscape of the Timanfaya National Park during sunset. To achieve this aerial image, I took a series of bracketed shots. Subsequently, in post-production, I stitched together the HDR images obtained from each exposure to create a panoramic image.about the photographer
My name is Marcello Niccodemi and I am a Tuscan landscape photographer. My passion was born while traveling, in recent years I have had the opportunity to travel a lot and always in places with different climates, this has allowed me to get used to very varied scenarios. My attention then stopped on Nordic and high mountain landscapes, which are currently my greatest source of inspiration, but I still like to explore new and wild places.back to gallery
