15 Winners Of The Northern Lights Contest By “Capture The Atlas”

#8 “Lights In The Land Of Living Skies” By Jeanine Holowatuik

Saskatchewan, Canada

“I captured this image during a surprise aurora storm that came out of nowhere near the end of May in the boreal forest of Saskatchewan, Canada. The moon was illuminating the clouds and the Northern Lights reached overhead. It was a magical moment!

The show was strong, and the lights were visible in every direction at its peak, which doesn’t happen often at my latitude. I was able to stay close to home, watching in amazement as the lights reached further south. It was a warm spring evening and I captured the Lights dancing right until the morning light, a night I’ll never forget!”

Dan shares what inspired him to create this Northern Lights competition: “After shooting the Northern Lights in Canada for the first time, it became one of my passions, and since then, I haven’t stopped chasing and shooting the aurora borealis all over the world. However, photographing the Aurora is not as easy as it seems; it requires great planning, using the best settings, lots of practice, and one important thing… inspiration! Intending to get to inspire as many people as possible to know more about this beautiful phenomenon and to encourage them to travel and shoot it, we decided to create a Northern Lights photography collection to feature the best 25 Northern Lights images captured around the world.”
