Northern lights in Iceland

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Hey Guys, this is my first post on steemit. I’m a landscape/ nature photographer and I will take you on a journey to the most beautiful places using this blog.

I'd like to start with a picture showing the amazing aurora borealis dancing during a full moon night in West of Iceland.
Witnessing the northern lights, one of the most spectacular nature phenomenas, is just mind blowing. Have you ever had the chance to see it?

Best time to see it is October till March, if the weather permits ;-) I hope you like it!

Hey man, great picture :)
I hope this: https://500px.com/mark_hillen ist your blog and you didn't steal the picture from there? Some verification would be nice!
On the other hand I would suggest you to check out @czechglobalhosts ! He does a daily picture challenge where you can win big - I guess you would have great chances with your awesome shots!

Zuguterletzt würde ich mir noch die Tipps von @neuvorstellungen ansehen ;)
Liebe Grüße,

Hi Martin, thanks for your reply! :) The referenced 500px account is mine and some pics shown there will also be presented here on steemit, but also new stuff. I will take a look at the links you provided. Best regards!

Hey Mark, welcome to the platform! Stunning image, where have you taken this shot? It might sound silly, but you should credit yourself in your photographs while publishing them on Steemit. If you need help to get started there are great communities available on Discord or very helpful members that you can find at Steem.chat.

Cheers,
Ruben

ps: you have a small grammar mistake in your title "Northern"

Hi Ruben, thanks for your reply! The image was captured on the west coast of iceland, about 50km from Reykjavik. Honestly, I´m not really sure what you mean with and how it works to credit myself, but I will take a look at discord to get some help! Cheers

Amazing photography!!1

You started with a great photo. I've not seen the aurora borealis, it can be seen sometimes where I live in the UK but I know it wouldn't look as good as it does further north. I'll have to go and see it one day.

You definitely should, especially the first time you see it is moment you will never forget. Have a nice evening!

Iceland looks very beautiful!

Oh yes, it is so beautiful! Have a nice evening!

Welcome! Looking forward to your contributions 😊 Wonderful first image👍

Thank you! :) I hope the future contributions will not disappoint you! Best regards

Realy a good picture. I have some friends in Norway who did it too. It is not easy to capture this moving bands of very low lights.

Thank you! It’s really challenging to capture the lights if they are strong and moving fast, so I was quite happy when I got this shot on my SD card... :)

Looking forward very much to seeing your work - welcome to Steemit!
