Long hours driving the ring in Iceland.
We stopped for a cuppa tea and managed to grab the magic above, full moon and overcast.
Panoramic photograph showing the show of colors in the skies of Iceland at dawn on 03/31/22.
The aurora borealis forecast websites and apps indicated KP 7 index since the beginning of the night of 03/30/22, which in fact did not occur. In the beginning of the night the aurora borealis was very weak and only on the horizon line, which ended up discouraging some people in my group, who returned to the hotel. I and 3 other students were firm and confident that the predicted show would happen sometime in the morning. At around 3 am, suddenly, the sky exploded in shades of green, red, violet, blue... The long-awaited spectacle of the northern lights finally took place. Unfortunately, at this point we were in a generic area, with no interesting subjects to compose the images. That's why I made this image composed of two panoramics taken at different times, with a few days of difference between them.
The foreground was taken in Skógafos, Iceland.
Last year in the Rockies, there were a few days that people could observe beautiful aurora borealis, and bow lake is definitely a great place to be.
And I captured a crown of light!
Well that suits of course, my surname is Kongshavn and that translates to King's harbour
So of course I got a crown
LOL
Well, this just happened, not in Alaska!

Story:
On an incredible night in Iceland, the Northern Lights appeared like a crown above the queen of waterfalls, the impressive Skógafoss.
In an attempt to capture as much of the sky as possible in the shot, I equipped my camera with a 12mm fisheye lens. However, with this type of lens, it's necessary to get very close to the main subject—in this case, the waterfall—so that it doesn’t appear too small in the frame. The challenge, though, was that being up close and directly in front of the waterfall, the spray drenched both me and the equipment, making the task of capturing the image quite difficult.
After overcoming the technical difficulties, I was able to capture this beautiful shot of the Northern Lights over the most incredible waterfall in Iceland.

Oct 10 aurora was so amazing. I can't decide which of my MANY photos I like best so here's one for starters I am sure people's photos are all over the internet by now, and if you missed it maybe you can get a chance to see it tonight. This one reminds me of the rainbow sorbet that my grandsons love. Nova Scotia doesn't get too many of these shows so anyone who witnessed this one will never forget it. (no saturation added)
Arizona aurora borealis...night sky 5-10-24
I had no idea this was happening!
light trails and the moon
This fall in Yellowknife, me and another 6 photographers observed a truly amazing light, pretty much like a phoenix, flying over the tundra.
In one of my night photography workshops, me and two clients observed something truly beautiful, milky way (even though not quite obvious), light polluted clouds and aurora borealis. I once again sat there to enjoy the scene, good night, lake Minnewanka.

Story:
A spectacular aurora display arcs above Kirkjufell mountain in Iceland, creating a dramatic celestial dome over one of the most iconic landscapes in the country. The green bands of the aurora borealis dance across the sky, enhanced by subtle purples and reds, while the Milky Way subtly emerges behind the curtain of light. In the foreground, the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall completes the scene, adding dynamic foreground interest to this wide-angle nightscape. This image captures the magic of a geomagnetic storm under pristine Arctic skies.

The Aurora Borealis captured over North East Iceland resembling what looks like a Phoenix rising in to the sky.
