Eyjafjallajokull. Today we landed roughly one kilometer away from the eruption. I shot this for www.Helicopter.is and the other helicopter is from the Icelandic Coastguard. For more photos and videos you can visit me at www.JonGustafsson.com. I used a Canon 5d using a gyro stabilizer. Used two lenses: 16-35mm and 70-200.

Twilight by the volcano in Eyjafjallajokull. Filmed from the town of Hvolsvollur. Spent most of the day flying ove the eruption with the Helicopter Service of Iceland but grabbed this in the twilight before we headed back home for the night.

This was the first day the clouds lifted and the volcano was visible. A picture from that flight went worldwide, including Boston.com Best Of The Volcano.
