A summertime squall tore through Crater Lake while we were taking pictures, and the clouds above were the result.

Very Little Fire and A Whole Lotta Brimstone

Very Little Fire and A Whole Lotta Brimstone

If you've been following along, you'll realize that this was also snapped at White Island. At the heart of the island is 'crater lake,' and it's responsible for the plume of steam seen in the previous photo. While it's not the typical red hot magma that is normally associated with an active volcano, I found the colors to be equally as impressive and intriguing. The pungent smell of sulfur, while impressive in its own right, was not so intriguing.

Shortly after arriving on the island, I made the observation to my father that the odor reminded me of the type of mischief only 9 year old boys can get themselves in to. Then it dawned on me that the tour would leave us all reeking of sulfur. Awesome.

White Island

My father and I continued tramping through the country, with our first stop in Tauranga. A bit of open water fishing resulted in us catching cod, yellow-tail king fish, mackerel, snapper, a few snags and a number of other misremembered fish. I also got my first Southern Hemisphere sunburn. The sun truly is strong down here!

Our next stop was Whakatane, where we hopped aboard a tour to White Island, an active volcano located in the Bay of Plenty. Equipped with hard hats, gas masks, my 10-22 super wide angle zoom and a circular polarizing filter, we spent roughly two hours exploring the island, including a close up of the sulfur-ific crater lake.

This was my first time shooting with the 10-22 and I'm shocked at how wide it goes. While I did add a slight vignette to the photo, you can actually see the edge of the polarizing filter in the upper right corner. It's bizarre--and quite fun--how it distorts your perspective. For example, the ball of steam at the top of the photo was nearly over head.

Laguna Quilotoa

Laguna Quilotoa

Laguna Quilotoa is a high Andean crater lake 100km south of Quito, Ecuador, well over 4,000m altitude. The water and sky constantly change hue and color as clouds float by. In part by it's beauty and by the thin air of high altitude, there is a mystical quality in this special place.

Laguna Quilotoa es un gran lago andino cráter 100 km al sur de Quito, Ecuador, más de 4.000m de altitud. El agua y el cielo están en constante cambio de la tonalidad y el color como las nubes flotan. En parte por su belleza y por el aire enrarecido de la altura, hay una cualidad mística en este lugar especial.

This 2008 video was shot from from a Sony HDR-SR12 equipped with a Carl Zeiss 1.8/4.9-58.8 Vario Sonnar lens and a Tiffen 37mm UV Protector. This short clip came from an iMovie edited film.
