Have you ever taken a photo next to a volcano? I haven’t. Pretty sure it’s kinda easy though. All you would really need is sunglasses. Right? You know so when your friends are taking photos of you taking photos of lava, you look cool enough for facebook. I’m pretty sure that’s all that’s needed. Forget about instructions. Or danger. Or that as landscape photographer Miles Morgan points out: there is no truly safe spot next to a volcano.
I wish it was that easy, but it’s not. In this video, Morgen talks about how hard it really is to shoot next to blazing hot volcanoes. He also gives some insight into what it takes and what one must learn if you ever decide to go out and do it too.
And please . . . if you ever do go out there, be safe!
