Sean Stiegemeier | Icelandic Vulcano, time-lapse film


Please view this pearl in full screen!

Film­maker and Pho­tog­ra­pher Sean Stiege­meier trav­eled to Ice­land at the end of april to shoot a time-lapse film of Eyjaf­jal­la­jökull, the vul­cano which has caused the biggest shut­down of air­space in Europe since World War II.

In his own words:
“So I saw all of these mediocre pic­tures of that vol­cano in Ice­land nobody can pro­nounce the name of, so I fig­ured I should go and do bet­ter. But the flights to get over took for­ever as expected (some­what). 4 days after leav­ing I finally made it, but the weather was ter­ri­ble for another 4. Just before leav­ing it got pretty good for about a day and a half and this is what I man­aged to get. Wish I had more time. I missed all the cool Light­ning and the Lava of the first erup­tion. But I fig­ure this will just be a trial run for another day.”

Got inspired? Sean will be help­ing teach a time-lapse work­shop in Ice­land in August!
