Mordor Cauldron Blaze by Ken Wright
Taken from inside a cave in a very small cove at Titahi Bay, New Zealand, Middle Earth.
The cave gave me shelter from the elements, wind blowing at about 70k, sea spray all around me, the water in the foreground is at my feet as it rushes into the cave, stunning west light as the sun dies lighting up all the rocks in a burnt orange.
Shot on a Nikon D700, 17-35mm Nikkor lens, Cokin ND8+4 grads, warming filter, processed in photomatix HDR and photoshop.
