11:37 I don't see the skull, but the dark area of cooling rock at the upper right clearly looks like a fetus. Symbolically fitting for the birth of new land.
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible experience with the volcano! I'm absolutely in awe of the last two photos, I've never seen anything so beautiful! ❤️ ✌️ ❤️ 😂 From Northern California 🤓❤️✌️
I really enjoyed watching the Michael. Those top down videos were mesmerising. And that photo of the 'dragon' was incredible. It is a great experience watching a live volcano that is for sure.
This brought back so many incredible memories from my own visit and I can only agree it's a highlight of a landscape photograpy career! We must have been there only a few days apart. Good to see I'm not the only one who melts drones 😅 - incredible photos as always! :D
Thanks so much Mads, glad you were able to catch it as well! It was hard to capture just how spectacular it was in person. I felt like even though I was happy with my photographic results, they still didn't do justice to the whole experience. Yeah, I was surprised I didn't catch you or Albert out there! But it was quite the crowd at times haha
@@MichaelShainblum yes absolutely, catching the size and from a low angle was really hard. It seems they had it a bit easier last year. I'm quite content with my final photo with two people in front where I managed to perspective compress the photo. I aimed to get one with myself, but despite going back and forward three times in the darkness I just couldn't line myself up between the volcano and camera 🤦♂️ I'd love to come back to CA and it would be great fun to go shoot together 🙏
Baaahhhhhhh those drone sequences are magic mate. Great choice of music too. Amazing work Shainbloom. Top down is where its at for this shoot for sure.
I love all the lava drone shots! One of the most eye pleasing images I've seen. Love the dragon shot, I immediately recognised it. Also the first one of the 3, looked like a bonsai tree to me for some reason, the trunk and branches have some resemblances.
Just when i though you were one of the best photo guys on the you tubes...you do this! OMG! some of your best work yet! absolute blast to watch this vlog and keep up the stellar work!
Stunning images Micheal, I was lucky enough to witness the previous eruption in August 2021 with my daughter on the last night of our Iceland trip. As you say it’s tricky capturing crisp images due to the heat, smoke and brightness. I was a complete novice at the time but managed a few good images, one of which has literally just made the final 50 in a photographic competition back home in the UK. It was just getting dusk at 23.35pm and the eruption and lava lit up the clouds above with incredible colour. I am very proud of the image and feel extremely privileged to have witnessed such a wonder of nature. Possibly a once in a lifetime moment and one that will stay with me forever 🌋
Amazing photos and time-lapses. Wonder what would a photo-blend would look like. One shot freezing the smoke and lava splashes and the other a time-lapse of just the river flowing.
This has to be your best video to date. Great compositions showing the lava textures, these are some of the best I've seen. Good tip about switching the memory cards in between flights. I hope I can exprience this some day.
This is the best photography video I have seen on RUclips and some of the best images. We are off to Iceland at the end of February but don't for a second think any of our images will compare to yours. Thank you
I know I‘ve said it a few times now, but your videos are simply the greatest photography stories on RUclips. I love watching your content, it‘s so inspiring, calming and exciting to watch. Thanks for sharing your images and thoughts with us. Also great photos as always 🙏🤩
It's incredible to see what you were able to photograph there! I really love the last image, reminded me of my walk back from there to the car when I was there. Thanks!
Amazing video and images ❤️ loved seeing them on Instagram and Facebook but the process getting them in this vlog was awesome, many thanks for taking us on this journey with you ❤️
So incredibly inspiring ! I'm a retired commercial photographer and since a few years swapped corporate deadlines , weddings and portraits for reasonably well paid Landscape photography. No more stress , just enjoy what I do best and get paid for it as well. Your work really inspires me - your 'photo eye' is just perfect. And your friendly way of sharing your work just makes it an awesome pleasure to watch. I wish you many many more great images 'for ever and a day ' ! Greetings from 'Warrumbungle' an ancient extinct volcano - where I live - in Australia.
Highlight of your photographic journey, for sure (absolutely breathtaking and captivating)....Thanks for bring this wonderous world into our world. 👏👏👏

That one that looks like a dragon is straight fire (pun intended)

What a video! Everything is perfect: amazing rushes, beautiful music and obviously wonderful shots... I was absolutely fascinated.
Absolutely incredible shots. I have never seen lava in such beautiful detail.

Thanks so much Greg, really glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video and shots mate. Yeah, that heat haze is really challenging but the end result is still impressive. I'm looking at flights right now...
*A wild Gavin appears*
Thanks so much man! :)
Spectacular work, Michael. Man, the dragon and the last shot of the smoke plume are incredible!
The most incredible video of a Volcano I have ever seen. I am so Jealous. Keep it coming.
One of my favourite videos of your Mike and some of the best aerials of the eruption. Holy! Excellent.

Talking about playing with fire... Stunning work! That "dragon" shot is unbelievable, and so is the "skull" one.
