Iceland had been on my bucket list for years, and last fall, I finally made the trip with a friend. Among the many iconic locations I wanted to photograph, Skógafoss was a must. I had high hopes of capturing it under the northern lights, but each night, the sky remained stubbornly cloudy.
However, Iceland gifted me something incredible five consecutive nights of breathtaking auroras. While Skógafoss never revealed a clear night sky, I didn’t give up. One early morning, I woke before dawn to capture the waterfall at blue hour, placing my friend in the frame for scale. Later, I blended this shot with one of the incredible aurora displays I had witnessed during my stay.
This image is more than just a photograph, it’s a vision I had dreamt of for years, finally brought to life through patience, persistence, and a little creative touch.
