Thurston Lava Tube

Thurston Lava Tube, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, Island of Hawai'i, USA

Interesting colors and textures, excellent depth, and shows dripstone well on lower right wall. It has good resolution considering that it is illuminated only by the lights installed in the tube. This lighting contributes to the quality of the image, in my view. It appears in the article Lava tube. Michael Oswald created the image. License is Commons PD-self.

  • Can you get a higher res version? This one is too small to have a chance of being an FP. Also, I appreciate that lighting may have been a challenge but I have to say I don't think there's much to distinguish this visually from any old cave pic, and I've seen far more beautiful cave pics. Is there no perspective a lava tube coud be photographed from that would bring its more singular qualities to the fore? I think the close-up you uploaded tells me more about lava tubes but that isn't FP quality either ~ VeledanTalk 20:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose for now. 568x426 is not FP-ready. Interesting subject though. -- Dschwen 21:00, 22 January 2006 (UTC) reply
New version hardly shows any additional detail. I fail to see what sets this tube apart from any other ordinary tunnel/cave. -- Dschwen 21:30, 29 January 2006 (UTC) reply
Please check Wikipedia:What_is_a_featured_picture point 5. Sadly the wording leaves room for interpretation, but if you look at previous nominations you'll find a good consensus that anything <800px will be kicked out.-- Dschwen 10:49, 23 January 2006 (UTC) reply
Thanks for tracking down that link for me. Still think you're being too strict, though. BTW, did I miss that link, or isn't it in the lead of FPC anymore? - Mgm| (talk) 10:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC) reply
You should be able to get a sharp picture with a tripod and manual focus, noise could be reduced as well with a longer exposure time. A G3 can do better. -- Dschwen 10:32, 30 January 2006 (UTC) reply
