15 Winners Of The Northern Lights Contest By “Capture The Atlas”
#9 “Vikings In The Sky” By Nico Rinaldi
Iceland
“This photo was taken during my second tour in Iceland. On my first trip, I didn’t get to see this unique location, but on my second tour, this place was at the top of my list! When I finally visited this location, it left me totally amazed: an imposing mountain lying on a volcanic black sand beach, surrounded by large dunes created by the wind. It was a concentration of beautiful natural elements that really impressed me. After spending the whole afternoon exploring the area, I chose the photo composition that I liked the most.
The sunset was really disappointing. In fact, the weather conditions were bad, and it rained intermittently, but I kept waiting, hoping that at night, the conditions would improve and the Northern Lights would show themselves in all their beauty. And so it was! After spending several hours observing the sky, around 1 am, the clouds moved away, and the sky was already covered by the Northern Lights. Full of euphoria, I went to the spot I liked and took a series of photographs of this unique natural show! It was truly a wonderful experience, where I was able to test all my night photography skills.”
