A longer exposure softens the movement of waves, lava, and billowing steam at the Kupapa‘u ocean entry in Kalapana, Island of Hawai‘i. The dynamicity of volcanic activity is mesmerizing, as no two frames are ever identical.

Solitaire by bruceomori

A lone drip of lava pours into the sea along the Kalapana coast. There’s hardly a sight in the world that can compare to witnessing the dynamic and creative forces of nature at the ocean entry. : )

Caged Fury by bruceomori

Trapped steam beneath a river of lava accumulates a tremendous amount of pressure until it escapes in an instantaneous explosion of a lava, creating a one of a kind, airborne abstract. These lava bubbles are extremely rare, and are by far, my favorite aspect of volcanic activity to shoot, as you never know what you’re gonna get… kinda like a box of chocolates. Well, not really. 😉

Sea Snake by bruceomori

Hate to say this again, but viewing on black does make a difference with this image! : )

A thin river of pahoehoe lava snakes its way to the sea at the Ki ocean entry in Kalapana, island of Hawai‘i. Compositionally, I hate this image, but I’ll take what I can get while standing on extremely rocky ground, no pun intended. 🙂

Shooting lava is an incredible experience… It’s a privilege to be able to witness destruction and creation meld into one dynamic force… Words fall short, but photos capture a bit of its mystical essence. Friend and business partner, Tom Kualii, and I, specialize in lava tours and workshops for the discerning photographer. Clients include some of the top photographers and business executives from across the globe. Prices, availability, and references are available upon request.

Captain Magma by bruceomori

Captain Miles Morgan, call sign “Magma” 😉

EXCELLENT pilot, AWESOME photographer, and even BETTER friend and human being. Miles, my BIG bruddah (yes, he’s VERY BIG), is getting the shot at the Kupapa‘u ocean entry in Kalapana, island of Hawai‘i. Very memorable outing with a couple other bruddahs of mine, Ryan Dyar and Tom Kuali‘i. Nothing like shooting lava with great friends whom I consider to be three of the best photographers around. 🙂
