“I took this photo on my first trip to Iceland in September 2019 on a trip that I had been organizing for months with 5 of my best friends. We were lucky enough to enjoy a G1 solar storm with a Kp4 index and some Kp6 peaks. The first experience of seeing the Northern Lights was incredible. As I do in the rest of my night photographs, I shot the foreground during blue hour and waited for the show to happen; that way, I can achieve the best quality in my images.
This time, the Northern Lights were so intense that I had to use a shutter speed down to 1 second to capture all the textures of the Aurora, forcing me to use very high ISO ranges between 8000 and 12800. I took this photo at the top of the Skogafoss waterfall, a composition that I hadn’t seen before and that sums up that magical night.”
