How wonderful! I believe that Iceland is one of the places where every photographer, enthusiast/amateur, dreamer, should go at least once in their life.

Thanks SimoBen
Alberto, I think so but I have processed so many that I don't remember the shooting data, I'll go and check the exifs.
That night the dawn gave us time to experiment with shots and compositions, but the adrenaline that such a unique show puts on you does not leave you with the lucidity necessary to be sure to do everything in the best way. This is also the beauty of landscape
photography

Yes, I agree Nicola. My question was only because I saw that the close-up is very well exposed, so I imagined a shot just for that...

It must also be said that the noise reduction is now at such a level that you can safely use shots from 9000 iso, the AI helps a lot in night landscapes. I seem to remember that the iso were very high even for the close-up, to shorten the time and avoid the blur of the dry grass on the dunes (I have a wide angle f/4 not very bright)

@Nicola 2 things:
- congratulations for the photo... really gorgeous!
- I was recently in Iceland (early January '25) and it was my first experience of Northern Lights. To take such a photo you need planning, especially in places like the Vestrahorn which is not on the road or near accomodations (I don't know if there are hotels/guesthouses inside the park after the barrier or in any case nearby)... How did you organize yourself?
I know that of course you can monitor the KP, but what really matters is finding clear skies, and as you well know in Iceland the weather changes really quickly... So here is my doubt: do you go to the place crossing your fingers to see the long-awaited aurora appear, or do you rely on apps like Windy or similar, hoping that the forecasts on the sky are spot on?
Thank you

Look, I can't tell you in my opinion it's all a matter of luck. We were staying in Vik and after dinner having seen that the sky opened we left for the Vestrahorn, I had taken tickets for the sunset and I had also been given permission to pass even at night in anticipation of the dawn. It went well for us, in 15 days of travel we had more opportunities to see her but that evening, in the most beautiful place in all of Iceland, in my opinion, she gave us a nice gift. An evening that is worth the whole trip, unforgettable

Thank you for the answer, I am also convinced that it is one of the most beautiful places, just as I am convinced that luck in the end is always fundamental!
In what period have you been there? Because I considered it "complicated" to go out in the evening in the middle of winter with minus 12-15 degrees, wind often really strong, roads difficult to travel because they are often snowy and with visibility close to zero, just with the hope of seeing something. Luckily we had 2-3 evenings in which we could enjoy it from the place where we were, but we couldn't plan a good photo (so crossing good kp and open sky).

We were at the end of October, and that evening there was no wind and not even too cold. Sometimes it is the combination of lucky opportunities that helps, in any case having excellent travel companions helps a lot
