The aim was to try some long exposure shots, to capture the incredible arcing blasts from Yasur's vents. It turns out that's a reasonable challenge when you don't have a tripod and the entire ashen mound you're sitting on regularly shudders with bubbling molten fury.
I wound up sitting with my legs pulled up, and the camera balanced on my knees. I didn't have much luck until I started using shutter priority mode, and set it to 3 seconds. The best shots I got were by accident, or extremely good luck.

I haven't made any adjustments to these pictures (mostly because I still don't really know how. Anyone want to teach me how to retouch photographs?).

ReplyDeleteThanks, Barnesm! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a clever girl.
ReplyDeleteThey look great! You don't really need to do anything to them to make them look better. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteReally cool. Yeah, there's not much I'd do to em. Throw them lightroom and have a look, but I reckon there's not much you need to do.
ReplyDeleteHey Natalie, it's Billy Healy! What a buzz to meet you on Mt Yasur, six degrees and all that shit and stuff!
