Devaney,
If you have a tripod for your camera, it would be good to go early and get a spot near the front of the roped-off area. We found that it was difficult to steady the camera by hand once it got dark and the red embers started to be visible. Another note is that some people brought towels or small chairs for comfort when seated on the lava though I stood for a couple of hours, no problem. Good shoes and flashlights are a must as stated earlier.
