HALEMAʻUMAʻU MILKY WAY

Volcano National Park Big Island Hawaii

At the time of writing this Halemaʻumaʻu is currently an active vent of the Kilauea Volcano located in Volcano National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii. In this image, I wanted to capture a variety of elements that required advanced planning. For one, I wanted to capture the Milky Way over Halemaʻumaʻu in which I knew would be over the crater around 1 a.m. Another important factor for me was to have the moon set in the background while illuminating the foreground. This also required a moon that was not too bright that it would wash out the stars and Milky Way. Lastly, I had to make sure there were no clouds in the sky during that time. With some luck on my side, all the elements came together, and I was able to come up with this photo of Halemaʻumaʻu.
