More Aurora Borealis over Jokulsarlon Glacier lagoon Iceland

The second night at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon I got another opportunity to see some more Aurora Borealis over the Vatnajökull Glacier, twice in a row after no clear nights on the rest of the trip.  This evening I had moved around and set up camp on the side of the Glacier Lake to get a different perspective and I was completely by myself in the erie silence, not even a breath of wind.  It was almost a religious experience!

Both these images shot on the Sony A7-r and the Canon 24mm f1.4L lens & lens adaptor.  I experimented a bit with exposure and found that on that camera ISO 800 was preferable at about f2.8 and 10-15 seconds exposure… But I had a nearly full moon to light the Glacier and the Icebergs.  On a moonless night you will need much more exposure to get the scene visible and not just the Northern Lights in the sky.  ISO 1250 allowed me more depth of Field at f4 or even f5.6, but it was too noisy, especially in the reflections.

I’m getting closer to having al the details finalised for my Photographic tour to Iceland in August 2015, I’m hoping to have all details up and be accepting bookings in a week or so.  I will be running this tour with well known Icelandic photographer Iurie Belegurschi (more about him later) so will be increasing the numbers slightly to a maximum of 12 people.  I already have several people on the waiting list for this tour, If you would like to be on it to click HERE to go to the page to send me an email.
