Majestic Valley
North Iceland along Route 1. Central to the scene is the seemingly endless valley with steep mountain bulwarks shadowed by the elaborately textured clouds extending as far as the eye can see. In a mostly overcast morning, the sun peeks through a small break in the clouds, a precursor to the coming spring warmth.

Nordic landscapes and northern lights – 1
In 2019, I planned to photograph aurora borealis in all parts of the spectrum. I had two chances to photograph aurorae, the first one came while attending a scientific conference in Reykjavik. Every evening, me and a friend would go on a road trip and hope for the best. First stop: the famous waterfall of […]

To me, it is fascinating that infrared sunsets turn blue after being processed, since […]

Friends of mine who staid for another week got quite lucky but that is how it goes. Bonus in this photo: a paraglider […]
Nordic landscapes and northern lights – 5
A few weeks later, I returned to Scandinavia for a 10-day trip across the Norwegian coast. We travelled with the Hurtigruten postal ships, which made up their lack of luxurious cabins with amazing landscapes. On the first morning, we left the harbor and were seen off with a nice little rainbow.
Nordic landscapes and northern lights – 8
I never dared to hope that northern lights would be that active in the infrared – and that beautiful. Taking photos in the surprisingly rough sea of the Atlantic was a special kind of challenge in of itself, but I came prepared. Every image is a composite of 8-16 0.3s frames, which were then aligned […]
