Thanks to website Cuded, we found out today that photographs captured by a visual effects designer are as jaw-dropping and explosive as we had imagined. Artist David Jon Ogmundsson, who also works as a motion graphics designer, continuously has his eye on the landscape around him during his travels. Several of his incredible photos document the 2010 volcanic eruptions of Mt. Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland. It’s an unbelievable sight. The Reykjavik-based photographer has a flair for the dramatic, evident in his otherworldly compositions, striking angles, and colors. See more amazing photos of nature in our gallery.
