“Earth on Fire” by Hasselblad Master Bernhard Edmaier

Aerial photography and medium format cameras. What a potent combination that is. Hasselblad Masters Awards Winner 2001 Bernhard Edmaier has published 200 of his most stunning photographs of volcanoes and volcanic landscapes taken with Hasselblad analog and digital medium format cameras over a period of 10 years.

Titled “Earth On Fire: How Volcanoes Shape Our Planet“, the book contains his most spectacular photographs of volcanic activities in their powerful details.

If Edmaier provides the picture, geologist and co-author Angelika Jung-Hüttl provides the write-ups, explaining the phenomena seen in the pictures.

Hasselblad says, “All of the images in ‘Earth on Fire’ – which were taken over a period of ten years – were photographed with Hasselblad analog and digital cameras.”

“Edmaier personally digitized the analog shots using a Hasselblad Imacon Flextight 949 scanner.”
