Volcanic Mars

This shot was taken last night trying to capture the milkyway at Halemaumau crater. Dodging the rain clouds, this one came right over the crater creating a huge atomic bomb effect. The climate change is right there at the National Park and you could never tell what crazy things go on there.

This is a very wild image. You did a great job of capturing the color and the night sky. It almost has an eerie feeling to it. Great image. :eek:

Wow, that is absolutely amazing. Did you bracket? The fence is a mild distraction, IMO.
