Kawah Ijen Crater Lake
Kawah Ijen Crater Lake, located in East Java, Indonesia, is a stunning natural wonder that attracts visitors from around the world. The lake is known for its vibrant turquoise color, caused by the high levels of sulfuric acid and other minerals in the water. The surrounding landscape is equally breathtaking, with steep cliffs and lush greenery creating a dramatic backdrop for photography. Popular photography locations at Kawah Ijen Crater Lake include the viewpoint overlooking the lake, where visitors can capture the stunning contrast between the bright blue water and the rugged terrain. Additionally, the sulfur miners who work in the area provide a unique and compelling subject for photographers looking to capture the human element of this extraordinary place.

Sunrise light on Kawah Ijen (Ijen Crater) and its beautiful turquoise colored lake (the largest highly acidic lake in the world). You can also see the sulfuric fumes from the sulfur mines. This was another very long day, traveling from Bromo to Ijen, hiking to the top of the crater, going to the bottom of the crater twice, first during the night to shoot the blue flames, then going up to shoot the sunrise, and going down again to shoot the sulfur mines and workers. More than 35 hours without sleep, but it was worth it! ? Nikon Z7 | Nikkor Z 14-30mm F/4 Single exposure. One can appreciate the great dynamic range of the Z7!
A very tough life for those sulfur carriers, having to carry on their back up to 60Kg of sulfur from the bottom of the Ijen volcano several times a day.
So much smoke in that day. We went down there when its so dark until the sun came up.
