My experience shooting the Litli-Hrútur volcano eruption
I got to shoot the Litli-Hrútur volcano eruption almost by accident. I just happened to be in the area, as the saying goes. That said, I think that luck counts, and I would like to share my experience with you.
I flew to Iceland for a volcano-agnostic photography gig – shooting for a fashion brand from the States. But knowing I was going to be in Iceland, I knew I had to make the most of it and stay longer. I mean, flying all the way to Iceland for just two days? No way!

This jaw-dropping image of tornado on the Sun took nearly 100,000 photos to create
Last week, a massive 14-Earths-tall tornado was spotted on the Sun’s surface. It was a real treat for everyone who watched it, even just in a video. But photographers Andrew McCarthy and Jason Guenzel did more than just observe. The two photographers teamed up and captured the solar tornado in an exquisite 140 MP image.
It took 200,000 photos, tons of data, and several days to complete, but it was worth it. The duo ended up with a jaw-dropping, super-sharp image of the incredible phenomenon. And I’m happy to say that they shared it with DIYP, along with some info about how they took it.

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recently shared a fascinating timelapse video of a tornado on the Sun’s surface. It swirled across the star’s north pole, prompting astrophotographers to turn their telescopes and cameras towards the Sun. The massive tornado reached the height of around 75,000 miles (120,000 kilometers), which makes it, most likely, the tallest tornado ever seen.
