Iceland

Photos from the island of fire and ice: Iceland. Though the fire, in this case, is the fire of the aurora borealis - the Northern Light - and not of the volcanoes.

Aurora Borealis over Vestrahorn

Vestrahorn, Stokksnes, Eastern Region / Austurland • Iceland Thankfully the sunrise is late in the morning, so today I do not have to get up too early to get some photos of the Northern Lights over the Vestrahorn. Since I do not want to have startrails I am using the Astrotracer built into my camera when used with the GPS. It will shift the sensor a little to compensate for the earth's movement during the two minute exposure.
