On my recent Costa Rica workshop, we spent several nights getting up close and personal with the Arenal Volcano. To say that it's an absolutely incredible experience is an big understatement! It rained as we approached the lodge on our first evening, and the volcano disappeared from sight (a common issue). At dinner that night the volcano reappeared and gave us a little taste of what it had in store for us. By the time we got back to our rooms to start photographing, it had disappeared again. We set up our gear on our private porches and began the waiting game. Within an hour or two the clouds started to dissipate. We were rewarded with clear skies and great volcano activity all night long! We'll be going back there on next year's workshop, which is in the final stages of planning as I post this image. BTW it's quite challenging to get quality images of a volcano in the dark.
