Sergio Tapiro has spent 14 years making thousands of photos of the Colima Volcano in the southwest corner of Mexico. His perseverance paid off with the shot of a lifetime. Take a look. (From 2016)
That rigorous attention to detail paid off on December 13. A few days before, he'd noticed volcanic ash flowing more quickly than usual, so he decided to keep a close eye on the volcano. He made camp 7 miles away and waited. And waited. And waited some more. After three days, at around 11 pm on the 13th, he caught a flash of incandescence at the peak, indicating an imminent eruption. He set his Canon 6D with a 70-200 lens on a tripod pointed toward Colima with an 8-second exposure.
He downloaded the images onto his laptop the next day and was awestruck. The bolt of lightning perfectly illuminated the ash and rock, revealing rich detail. "When I opened the RAW file, I noticed that it was almost perfect. It was unbelievable," he says.. Tapiro remains thrilled by the recognition, but is always thinking about the next picture. And so he returns as often as he can to the volcano he loves.
