photo challenge

Waiotapu, North Island

we have all experienced big challenges trying to make images...this shot should give an idea of how difficult conditions were at Waiotapu...good luck here framing or even focusing as the scenes appear and disappear very quickly in the clouds of steam...this is the same location as the previous photo..

Nikon D80
Nikkor 18-200mm - 1/500s f/9.5 at 200.0mm iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Fantastic! V

Figures emerging from mist makes a rather strong visual statement. The guy with outstretched arms is probably taking a photo but at any rate his stance adds significantly to the scene. v

Great timing and a moody composition. Excellent work. V.

The Sulphur in the steam is not too good for metal camera parts either. It's definately hard to focus when the lens fall off into a boiling mud pool :)
Walter Otto Koenig03-Jan-2009 18:41
Cool shot. They look like they're floating in mid-air. Not the best conditions for a camera. "V"
