Gates of the Arctic - Norway

This particular photo comes from a random part of Norway which we came across while driving a 300 mile stint in search of clear skies. This really nice lake was down over the side of a cliff, so we decided to strap our headlamps on and check it out.

The entire time we were on this trip the clouds and clear skies seemed to shift each and every day, so after checking the weather, fingers crossed we gunned it to the next location.

Usually I prefer to stay near one central location and explore it as much as possible on foot rain or shine since this seems to bring the most unique shots and compositions.

It's much nicer to really get to know a single area and have time to really explore all that area has to offer.

This trip was quite a bit different. Over two weeks we drove over 2,500 miles in search of clear skies and strong aurora activity. Out of the two weeks, 4 nights yielded some great results.

I'm in the process of planning a few workshops & tours for a certain island nation which provides some awesome landscape and aurora photography for 2016, but for now you can learn how to take some Northern Lights Photos using my free shooting and post processing tutorials which can be found at the link below. www.davemorrowphotography.com/2014/10/how-to-photograph-n...

I've also recently released a free 3 part video series on Scouting and Planning for Night Photography. You can find the videos along with my free 40 page ebook at the following link. www.davemorrowphotography.com/2015/01/scouting-planning-s...

Enjoy and thanks for looking, Dave
