rbakker: Could be a telephoto image as leilaniguy suggests.
Just remember the closer you get to eruption activity the more dangerous or life threatening :/ My understanding to access that lava viewing you bascially are accessing via county road and designated viewing area.
The following is a pretty good overview of the kalapana viewing area
http://www.nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/lavaflows.htm
Depending on VOG conditions, dangerous conditions, etc. that area may even be closed from day to day. If you go outside of designated areas you are basically on your own (you may risk trespassing, serious injury, or even death).
