New Zealand Waiotopu Thermal Track
The geothermal activity in this place is mainly about the bubbling mud. Wonderful shapes and forms in the mud can be photographed, as well as trying to photograph a small mud eruption.
Photography Tips
Use a fast shutter speed, continuous drive mode and fire of several short bursts of shots. In that way, you can choose the best photo later where the mud is bubbling at its best.
Addition by Fototante: Wait for the sun (if possible) - it changes the mud pool to gold glitter...
