A canceled trek turned into the opportunity of a lifetime for photographer Aaron Lim Boon Teck, who captured an active Indonesian volcano in his image "Eruption of Gunung Rinjani."
"Trekkers [who] were able to make it up to the crater rim on time [were] able to camp overnight to witness the eruption [the] whole night long," Boon Teck, of Singapore, wrote with his submission to the 2010 National Geographic Photography Contest. "I wanted to share with everyone this experience of seeing many elements going on at a particular point in time."
Freelance photographer and contest judge Joel Sartore said, "This image best represented the craft of photography. Not only is the light subtle and beautiful, and not only is it a lovely scene, but there's a volcanic eruption going on in the background."
National Geographic magazine senior photo editor and judge Sadie Quarrier noted that combining multiple images into one stitched image "gives us a wide, powerful, and unique view."
Freelance photographer and judge Stephen Alvarez agreed, adding that Boon Teck was "thoughtful" to choose a wide view and include the eruption's spectators.
"Besides, it is just a lovely photograph," he added.

Here's some of my mom's friend Norman McMillan's art:
He does all of the acrylic castings for her orthodontics office. Apparently, he tried to go to art school when he was younger but got kicked out because he was colorblind. Instead, he joined the family dental business and used that area of work to refocus his art. Funny how stuff turns out, isn't it? His acrylics work is amazing.

PS: Totally non-related: looking at your avatar, you should definitely buy a battery grip; more stability, battery for more shots and no need to have your arm all twisted when taking portraits. 👍

could we get a larger version or a link to the article for the land speed record holders?
I imagine it would get stuck at the Lewis hairpin of Monaco.
