It’s been two weeks now since Hawaii’s Mt. Kilauea erupted and it still shows no signs of slowing down. Since its initial eruption, we’ve seen a lot of videos and photos of its destruction. However, this photo taken by astronaut Drew Feustel from ISS is arguably among the most breathtaking.

This photographer is addicted to life-risking Lava
Bruce Omori is a legend in the landscape community. He is well known for his artistic interpretations of the Hawaiian lava fields. He has certainly chosen a line of work which is both dangerous and exciting.
We got pretty intrigued here in DIYP, so we asked Bruce to share a little bit of what’s going on behind his photos. You are in for a great read. Bruce’s stories are just as amazing as his photos.
These amazing Milky Way photos will make you feel like you’ve been transported to another planet
Milky Way is such an inspiring subject for everyone who enjoys shooting the night sky. Travel photography blog Capture the Atlas has published their annual selection of the best 25 Milky Way images. And oh boy, are they inspiring! We bring you some of them below, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy them just like I did.
Lava, the Milky Way, the Moon, Mars, Saturn and an Iridium Flare in one image
Yes, it’s possible. I did indeed capture what you see above in one shot. Although some of the Internet seems to disagree, it’s true. What you see above is the Milky Way, the moon, Mars, Saturn, an iridium flare, and lava from the Kilauea Volcano of Hawaii. I took this image during my visit to the Big Island of Hawaii in September of 2016 to document the 61G lava flow. I never imagined I’d walk away with such a scene, but the camera gods were watching over me that day. So, before this image gets torn apart by those who think it’s not real, I’d like to present the RAW image to you below. This image was shot on a Nikon D810 with a Nikon 14-24mm lens. Settings were F2.8, 25” at ISO 2500.
Watch this time-lapse video of lava engulfing a Ford Mustang in Hawaii
There has been a steady flow of photos and footage from Hawaii’s Mt. Kilauea since it erupted a few days ago, but this time-lapse video is probably one of the most intense we’ve seen so far. Taken by WXChasing, it shows slow-moving lava slowly devouring a Ford Mustang parked on the side of the street.
Here is an aerial video view of the huge volcano fissure eruption in Hawaii
One of the world’s most active volcanoes, Kilauea in Hawaii’s Big Island, erupted on Thursday. The eruption is threatening hundreds of homes, as molten lava is bursting from fissures that opened in the Leilani Estates. Mick Kalber has filmed the eruption from a helicopter. It shows the biggest fissure eruption he has seen so far: it is impressive, but at the same time truly heartbreaking.
This photo shows a rare symmetrical 65-foot tall dome of lava
Volcano eruptions are impressive and photogenic, as we’ve seen many times before. But a very unusual and spectacular photo was recently shared on United States Geological Survey’s Twitter page. It shows a lava dome rising up to 65 feet (20m), and it looks like a scene from a sci-fi movie.

Here is the gorgeous footage of lava that caused a drone to melt
Earlier this month, DIYP featured some of the most beautiful lava shots I’ve ever seen. But there was a price to pay for these photos: photographer Erez Marom melted his drone. Seeing the images, I’d say it was definitely worth it. And now, Erez has published the drone footage of the lava flows which caused his drone to melt. And guess what – the video is just as beautiful as the photos.
Watch GoPro being consumed by molten lava – and surviving
Red, hot, melting lava is wonderful to watch, but of course, extremely dangerous. It has damaged cameras before, and this time, it engulfed a poor little GoPro. However, despite being consumed by lava and even bursting into flames – the camera survived and went on filming.
