The “Guiding Light” Experience
Delicate yet powerful aurora rays boldly shoot the gap between clouds over Godafoss Falls in northern Iceland on April 14, 2022 at 11:47 pm. The bright, nearly full moon was backlighting the clouds and competing for light space here, but these auroras would not be denied!
Leading up to this moment, a strong wind was blowing waterfall mist everywhere while I strolled up the trail to the falls. As I got closer, I did a test shot and thought wow, look at those cool wings of clouds… and is that an aurora glow in-between? I picked up my pace, and when I saw a spike develop, I broke into an all-out sprint until my lungs burned to get in position for this composition. Boom, at 11:47 pm this shot “Guiding Light” went into the game bag. This is why I was here, to chase my dream of photographing auroras over Iceland’s amazing waterfalls, so I was ecstatic! It truly was a dream come true.
