Volcanic eruption + Northern lights in one shot.

That looks like a sulphur release and not the northern lights

Wow..

Northern lights to the left (green swirly thing), pretty much a once in a lifetime shot

It looks like an aurora to me.

I can tell you first hand that's the Northern lights!!! What do you mean by sulphur realease?? All volcanoes release vast amounts of sulphur products, mostly as SO2 gas which is toxic and forms sulphuric acid in contact with atmospheric water. If you mean burning sulphur then the only element that burns with a green flame is barium or copper, sulphur burns with a light blue almost invisble flame... Science nerd alert!

Icelanders having it all at the moment.

looks like aurora northern lights (nordurljos) to me too.

Sulpher burns blue when ignited , not green

Talk about a once in a life time oppotunity!

 

[cowasaki]

That is superb!

 

[chivers67]

That's definitely the Aurora though I can't see how that was done without merging two pictures. The Magma would be far blow out and overexposed

Coooool

My thoughts too, the lights from aurora are very very faint

 

[Byker28i]

The green of the northern lights are over the glow from the fire. Somethings not right?

Althought searching around I've found other similar shots

I think his shots are even better

Maybe you should too, your keyboard appears to have developed a stammer.

 

[dubcat]

My god - the tog who took this has skills to be able to compose and set exposure for such a nice picture while experiencing all that. I think i would have just started to shake and fainted

 

[Bendihossan]

Okay, no I'm jealous! (Even if it is two pictures merged)

 

[wippers]

Lucky ba***rd!!! Superb image!

Nice and if you check the EXIF data the aurora shots were 20 - 30s at f4 but the nightime eruptions were f8 - f11 1/2 second

 

[yoby]

It's not the northern lights, it's the alien ray gun burning great big holes in the Earth's crust........

 

[Loopy]

All great, but have you looked at the shots on the millhouse site. Are these people mental!!

Brilliant

 

[The Matt]

Not to **** on anyone's parade, but I've seen much better pictures of an aurora and of the volcano. Sure it's odd seeing them side by side but they don't really complement one another in my eyes. Just me?
