Image shortlisted for Astronomy photographer of the year 2014. Captured in Steinsvik, Troms, Northern Norway during a strong aurora flare that lasted only a few minutes. The figure on the right side is my brother searching for his lost lenscap. He did throw a few cursewords after he missed out on capturing most of this flare, but in the end it provided quite the laugh.
The beauty of simplicity and some help from the ice this became one of my faves of the winter.
Every image is in its own way a journey, both physically and mentally, as a photographer you are always trying to bring a little something of yourself into the images and this in particular stands as something I can look at and think about the journeys that has been and the ones to come. Sometimes you get those deep moments when out photographing, but all those different moments has an effect on the images you take, I feel it is always for the positive. Image captured at Josvannet, Nordreisa, Northern Norway.
