Technical: Shutter speed was 30 seconds, f/2.8, ISO 1000. The ISO was boosted a bit higher than I like due to how dark it was. A tripod would have minimized the shake generated by the blast and allowed me to set up the shots quicker but I prefer to travel without tripods and often like the low angles when setting a camera up on the ground or on rocks, as in this case.
