Here we are: my final blog for 2024. In this third and final blog, I want to reflect back on the incredible, unexpected year 2024 turned into. This write-up is more focused on my photographic achievements, adventures, and more rather than focusing on my favourite images.
After my first year-in-review blog about my favourite 5 camera photographs of 2024, it is time for that other "camera" I use: my drone. In this blog, I go over my favourite drone shots of this year.
It is safe to say that 2024 has again been an amazing year for my photography. In this article, I share some of my favourite camera photographs of this year.
The results are in! I am happy to share that I have been Highly Commended with my photograph 'Elddreki / Fire Dragon' the Siena International Drone Photo Awards 2024. 'Elddreki / Fire Dragon' is an image I captured last summer during the Litli-Hrútur eruption.
To celebrate the one year anniversary of the third volcanic eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcanic system at Litli-Hrútur, I decided to create a timeline showing all the events which happened during this eruption.
A few weeks ago, I was invited on the hAIghtensed Sense podcast to chat with Brendan Le Grange and Christo van Zyl. We chatted about flying above volcanoes, drone photography, my favourite moments and more.
I am happy to share that I have been nominated as one of the 5 nominees in the Abstract category of the Siena International Drone Photo Awards. The photo that was nominated is 'Elddreki / Fire Dragon', which is an image I captured last summer during the Litli-Hrútur eruption.
Coming Saturday May 25th 2024 at 20:10, a new episode of 'Vranckx en de Nomaden' will be broadcast on VRT Canvas, Belgian national TV. The episode 'Beneath the Surface', produced by Leon Haberkorn, is about the ongoing series of volcanic eruptions that have been occurring near Grindavík, a village of 4000 people.
Three years ago, during the 2021 eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcanic system in Iceland, I set out on a mission to try and capture the northern lights above an erupting volcano. I recently attempted to witness this unique & rare combination of natural phenomenons again, which I have dubbed the ‘Holy Grail of Iceland Photography’.
Last Saturday I attended the 2024 Federation of European Professional Photographers (FEP) Awards in Ålesund, Norway. I am proud to announce that I had the pleasure to rank sixth in the Nature category with three photographs taken during the various eruptions last year.
Looking back at 3 years of photographing eruptions, I want to share with you the most important lessons or truths I’ve learned documenting this natural wonder.
I didn't expect it, but 2023 turned into a whopper of a year for my photography and myself with many high notes. In this final blog of the year, I've listed 5 of the most important moments and achievements to me.
