The photographer from Lanzarote, Gustavo Medina, has once again captured an image of Spain's highest peak, El Teide, seen from Lanzarote. At about 300 kilometers away in a straight line, the artist has used the Los Ajaches Natural Monument, in Playa Blanca, to take a sequence of images of the moonset with El Teide on the right.
As he has shared on his social networks, from Lanzarote you can see this volcano in some seasons of the year. In this case, the photographer not only kept the image of El Teide seen from this protected natural space, but also took advantage of the moonset, which only had 2% illumination, to capture the scene.
Specifically, this timelapse or sequence of images was taken at the end of winter. To capture this image, Medina pursued the image for more than three years. "Planning them and making sure that the atmosphere was clear, that El Teide and the Moon hiding were visible, took me three years," he says in statements to La Voz.
"In the video you can also see some lights from the boats, even in the same base of El Teide (perhaps mountaineers or car lights), due to the extreme visibility of that afternoon," he adds in his publication on social networks.
