This video is a time-lapse shot from 1:00am until 6:00am of the dramatic eruptions of the Aeolian Island of Stromboli, during a rare night of intense volcanic activity.
The stars at the tail of the Milky Way brush the fiery top of this cone shaped island, and as dawn arrives the colours morph into a beautiful dance of warm tones, as the inly black smoke pumped high into the air from the eruptions punctuates the glowing sky.
I captured this captivating scene from the roof of our house on the neighbouring island of Panarea, using a Nikon Z6 camera with a 45mm tilt shift lens, in order to capture the sky and avoiding any geometrical distortions.
