#13 “Heavenly Dance” By Sergey Korolev
Kola Peninsula, Russia
“I’ve been hunting landscapes and Northern Lights on Russia’s Kola Peninsula for several years and I still find new spots. I found this stone beach on the coast of the Barents Sea a few years ago. At the time, I was mesmerized by the shape of the boulders, which moved with the rumble of the ocean waves, as well as the steep mountains rising from the sea. I tried to shoot the Aurora here for a long time, and one day, I got lucky and captured this image. The photo is very simple and consists of two shots; one short exposure to freezing the movement of the Aurora in the sky, and another longer exposure for the rocks.”
“I encourage everybody to go out in nature and shoot; even if it’s with your smartphone, there’s something really fulfilling when you’re expressing yourself creating new images. I hope you found our Northern Lights photographer of the Year collection inspiring and if you want to learn with us and join a community of passionate and like-minded photographers, don’t hesitate to visit us at Capturetheatlas.com!”
