Aurora Hunter

This was shot on a random dark road somewhere 30 minutes outside of Reykjavik that probably only our driver Siggi knows where it's located.

 

You hear stories of people going to Iceland to see the Northern Lights and not seeing them the entire time there and others getting full-blown auroras with crazy dancing lights. Well, we didn't quite get the crazy dancing lights here, but we were still quite lucky to see them on the very first night we arrived and then a second time about a week later, so no complaints.

 

This was my first time attempting to shoot the Northern Lights and I had little astrophotography experience in general so it was a bit of a struggle at first to get good results, but through lots of trial and error you have the result seen here :)
