This year we decided to take a trip we've been talking about for years -- to Iceland. It was my first time leaving North America since before the pandemic. Waterfalls, glaciers, geothermal features, black sand beaches, and (hopefully) the northern lights. A nature photographer's dream!
We flew out of Denver on a Friday afternoon and landed in Iceland on Saturday morning. After a few misadventures with our rental car (it's been a hot minute since I've driven a standard), we were off to the Blue Lagoon to start our stay with a little relaxation. Of course, before our spa appointment I headed out to shoot some pictures. :)
Unfortunately, we only had two clear nights during our week in Iceland. And the lights were only active one of the nights. The two shots above were actually from the patio of our hotel room, which isn't too shabby.
And this was the view from where I'd shot in the morning. Again, there's clearly activity. Might have been more apparent if I'd shot at a higher ISO. Just not the fireworks we'd hoped for. Fortunately, not seeing the aurora borealis as vividly as we'd hoped is most definitely a first-world problem. And one we can try and correct on a future trip. Norway, anyone?
