Here's my favorite shot from my trip to Iceland in 2021. This is a 2 shot blend. One from my Nikon D850 for the actual volcano. The lava trail is from a drone shot which melted the bottom of my drone. I still think it was worth it.

do you require a drone permit to fly in this area?

21

zakabog t1_jdw0liz wrote

Nope, it's not a national park (where drones are prohibited in Iceland) but there were daily updates based on drone activity. If there was another eruption the country might prohibit drone flights based on how dangerous it is.

innovfitness OP t1_jdw0q7p wrote

Nope. At one point there 8 drones flying.

Do you have to use heat shielding on the drones to keep them from burning up?

frozenuniverse t1_jdzr2fp wrote

No, just don't fly them too low (because they will and do melt, and no heat shielding is available that I'm aware of that works for drones!). Quite a few people did melt or lose drones with this volcano

Thanks for sharing. We left Iceland last year the day it erupted again.

Hey, I follow you on IG. Cool image! Not sure I’ve ever heard of someone compositing a ground shot and a drone shot together. Care to share the source images? Just curious. Aloha

frozenuniverse t1_jdzrf44 wrote

You don't think doing a composition of this and not putting it in the title is quite deceptive? You've completely changed the composition of the shot by using separate photos of the lava flow and the volcano, and created a scene that didn't exist (the relative scale of the volcano and the lava flow don't match the reality for one thing)

:) put it in the first comment...and they are pretty close taken at the same time...the volcano just looked pretty horrible from the drone

Took a moment to understand the scale of the mountain lol

Aelig_ t1_jdxwyrq wrote

It wasn't a mountain at that point. I was there around the same time and the volcano was like 10m tall.

Is this the same eruption that spawned the happy lava frog?

If so, that's my favourite. Yours can be second favourite

Fornicatinzebra t1_je33bhk wrote

It's the Fagradalsfjall eruption (not sure if that's the same one you're referring too)

Wow!!! Stunning display, well captured. Love the change of color from the usual here, well done!

I don't see Alexander Skarsgard and Claes Bang fighting buck naked anywhere. This is a lesser Icelandic eruption.
