06-22-11 – Volcanoes, Waterfalls, and Mountains
-
Title says it all. Stitched panoramas are allowed for this theme.
Thanks to orionid for another quality theme suggestion!
Blast-I was hoping this would be after I move to Hawaii so I could get all three in one shot. I guess I’ll just have to fall back to the thousands of mountain shots in my archives.
Plama – dueling 395s? 😀
Does water falling over a dam count as waterfall? I got nothing so far. Hopefully I’ll be able to get to some place. Don’t want to use another Katahdin shot, it’s kind of boring.

Hell yeah. Most of my best (read: my favorite) photography is taken just a few miles from the 395.
Bring it. I only have a few hundred shots other than what I put up in that gallery, but I’m not skeered 😉
/plus I’ve had an idea for this contest for a few months now…I just haven’t shot it yet…
I think a really good volcano shot could easily win this theme. Sadly, I don’t have one (yet). I’ve been thinking about my entries for this contest for a while now, and I think I’ve chosen three good ones, but I’m going to have so many bees.

In the original theme thread we discussed building your own waterfalls/volcanoes so I’d think this would count.

Of course.

The problem with Mauna Kea, though, is that she just kind of oozes like an old zit, unlike the explosive cyst that is Iceland’s fgjhfksahfjkashfjkhfshks. Most of the time, the safe viewing area set up by NPS is so far away, you’re lucky to get reactionary plumes where the lava meets the ocean. Assuming the whole flow isn’t underground.

Lava meets ocean from leeward side, midday
Lava meets ocean from windward side, on a good visibility day, from the NPS observation area. 200mm, heavily cropped. also, before I knew about manual ISO control. 😕
I have some very similar shots to your first two, Orionid, but I’m thinking I’m not going to use them. They’re just not impressive enough. At least to me. The third one, however, is pretty cool.
Well, my third one is out, as I used it for “Orange.” And the first for “Panoramics.” Also, Oahu hasn’t seen an eruption in 50,000 years (give or take 20K, depending which study you read), so I’m not expecting any active lava on our honeymoon next month. I do have an idea for stitched mountains, though…..
Hey, if you’re going to be on Oahu next month, would you mind checking out some apartments for me?
/I keed, I keed. But seriously, though, I’ll be asking your advice on living out there over the next few months. I’m going to need lots of advice.
I’d be glad to help, are you going to Manoa campus, or are you going to be over by the scopes on the big island?
Manoa campus, at least at first. I have the option in my third year to move to the Hilo facilities if I wish to pursue an instrumentation Ph.D. (which is unlikely, but not impossible).
Cool, no problem. I lived more towards the south/central part of the island (Aiea/Pearl City), but I was over that way a fair amount since I had a buddy that lived in Waikiki.
