300 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii
Kilauea, Episode #26, June 2025.
There were so many people and so many photographers with the longest lenses after a few miles of hiking to reach the edge of the crater where the eruption was happening.
We drove to the Volcano National Park as soon as we saw the eruption starting on the live feed in the hotel lobby.
I brought quite a bit of equipment with me, with the initial intention of shooting at dusk with a 200mm lens.
But I got there at 10 a.m. and I was not the only one intending to use a long focal lens.
After a few hours and some, objectively, mediocre shots, I changed plans and vision in the afternoon.
The trigger was some beautiful golden light coming through the clouds that had been contaminated by the eruption: the estimates were that the smoke reached a height of a few thousand miles.
That was causing the scattering and the beautiful light, that would normally not be possible at that time of day with that sun angle.
So I went for a large panorama to capture the entire crater, divided in half, where the left was in darkness, with only the lava coming out being the bright object, and the right was basking in the golden light.
Focal length? 90mm, 75mm equivalent in full frame.
The Hasselblad X2Dc did its job beautifully as usual.
The original image is 400MP, five shots stitched together. The amount of details is mind-blowing. If you zoom in the bottom left corner, you can see an old road that was built across this area blown up by a previous eruption: it looks like a disaster movie.
And then rivers of lava, vents of smoke from the lava below, lava turning into rocks while flying, pools of lava.
I like to think I was the only one shooting a panorama where everyone else was prying into the intimate details of the eruption.
I also like to think I got a good image.
This is Kilauea.
