| There's a surprising
amount of variety in the Whakarewarewa mud pools, depending on how liquid
the mud is. |
 |
Things even change
just with the passage of time, with new features forming and old ones going
away.
You could spend
a lifetime just photographing the same areas over and over, and see new
things each time. |
 |
| If the mud is just
the right consistency then you can get these little mud volcanoes. |
 |
| If mud pools are
like belly buttons, then the last one must have been an "outty" and this
one is an "inny"! |
 |
| Ah, but I promised
to tell you the three very simple steps to getting photographs of mud pool
bubbles right at the moment they burst. Well... |
 |
| (1) choose
the bubbling mud pool you want to photograph and get your camera ready
to photograph it... |
 |
| (2) when you
think a bubble is about to burst, press the shutter release... |
 |
| (3) repeat
steps two and three 30 or 40 times! |
