The photo went viral after being posted to the highly popular Facebook page, ‘I f*cking love science‘ (which boasts a jaw-dropping 6.1 million Likes).
Uploaded to Facebook as Singson’s cover photo, the photographer explains:
“Always trying to be creative, I thought it would be pretty cool (hot!) to take a lava pic with my shoes and tripod on fire while photographing lava so that’s what I did that’s real lava real flames and it was really hot! I could stand the heat only for a few seconds.”
The image was taken somewhere in Hawaii. In a recent interview with PetaPixel, Singson admits he doesn’t like to give out his exact locations.
