Stromboli Volcano 06/03/2012
Stromboli Volcano on 06/03/2012 at approximately 3 am. Stromboli is a small island north of Sicily and the volcano is one of the most active in the world. It explodes and throws lava from several vents on its summit at intervals of about 20 to 30 minutes. It has been active for at least 2000 years. Aperture: F5.6, Lens: 80-400mm @ 400mm, Shutter: 1/5, ISO: 3200, Time of Day: 3:00 am. This is an as shot unmodified photograph taken from a ship approximately 1/3 mile off shore of the island. I knew there was a good reason that I lugged my heavy 80-400mm lens to Italy. An incredible show of nature’s force!
