A leap of faith journey with some friends as we hunted for the Northern Lights in Iceland a couple of weeks back.
A total of 15 days and we were given 9 days worth of good weather including 4 nights of Aurora hunting, a blizzard cut across Iceland last week crippling power lines and turned the highlands and the northern part of the country into antarctic conditions.
Sharing my first four images of a trip to represent different landscape genres, light, infrared, aurora and monochrome.
an infrared reflection shot of kirkjufell, a shot which I have not seen taken yet so I went for it. 3x going back to this place to milk all the vantage points and we were given great light as well.
svartifoss basalt waterfall... climbed up the ridges to get a close up shot focusing on just the water and the textures of the dome. didn't want to mess up the appreciation of this wonder by shooting deep below with all the foreground and leads.
the winter like scene above the mountains of akureyri after the blizzard. we waited for about 3 hours before the next wave of aurora came over the heavens, it was below 0 and the wind was just killing us the whole time.
a morning spent hunting shapes and hues on the shores of jokulsarlon glacier lagoon... had to slow down a bit as I developed a flu on our first 3 days on the south coast.
