Getting the angle and perspective for a photo just right can sometimes be very tricky, but these crazy photographers don't mind – when it comes to taking the perfect shot, they will do whatever it takes.

The acts of devotion to their craft that some of the world's best photographers perform can be truly outstanding. Wildlife photographers have spent weeks camped out in the wild, allowing animals to get accustomed to their presence so that they can get the rare or intimate glimpses at their lives that others only dream of.

The Photographer's name is Kawika Singson, the shot is really taken on a lava flow, but he did jump start the flames with lighter fluid.

I read in an interview that this was staged. He thought it would make a good picture. But he wasn't really standing there the whole time.

Naw... dark lava is not hot enough to do this. While it's definitely will melt your soles and cook your feet in 2-3 minutes, but ignite your shoes without jumping you mad ... meh ...

That is insane. I would never do something like that, but if he managed to come away from that shoot with his health intact and his equipment working applause.

Btw, if you drop your keys in a river of lava, it's best to just leave them there.

Makes me think she's not really a photographer - not a professional, at least. "Look at ME!" doesn't fit a photog personality.
