Captured of Nusfjord in Lofoten, Northern Norway. One of the first thing I noticed driving in here was the brilliant green in the shadow of the mountain, that was really my clue for this capture. With rather slow moving clouds I worked my way using a long exposure with a filter to block the light, at 1 minute it was not quite there, nor at 2 minutes, but at 3 minutes everything just worked and it is a capture that has grown more on me and is now one of my favourite all time images.
There is something about cold winter nights that really makes it great to photograph, the cold crisp air makes it easy to see really far and when the moon is illuminating the land you can make out details at an extreme range. This really felt like a postcard kind of place with the fresh snow on the trees. Image captured on Kvænangsfjellet, Troms, Northern Norway.
Really strong green aurora suddenly started to move much faster with more and more red and purple color showing on top. Once you could see the curtain-like movement it was a display to remember. As it gets dark sooner and sooner in Northern Norway you have to get out there earlier and earlier, cause you never know when the aurora will show or how strong it will be.
