Hasselblad has released ‘explosive photos’ of the active Icelandic volcano in a bid to show that its new H4D-40 camera<\/a> can withstand extreme shooting conditions and deliver stunning results – even without a tripod.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swedish photographer Hans Strand captured images of the Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull volcano from a Cessna 172 plane, after six previous attempts had failed due to the vastness of the ash cloud that had caused weeks of disruption to European air space.<\/p>\n

‘The noise of the volcano was incredible,’ said the 54-year-old photographer who was 600m from the eruption. <\/p>\n

‘There were continuous explosions and huge bursts of lava shooting into the sky.’<\/p>\n

Hasselblad clams that the H4D-40 medium format digital camera is as ‘convenient’ to use as a 35mm DSLR.<\/p>\n

It features a 40-million-pixel CCD imaging sensor and costs ?13,995. <\/p>\n

‘I set the sensitivity to ISO 200 and the shutter speed to 1\/800sec, and that was it… I was just pointing and shooting,’ added Strand.<\/p>\n

‘The camera got pretty dirty while shooting the interior of the ash cloud from the ground. I cleaned it carefully every time I left the car.’<\/p>\n
