Iceland Winter Photography Adventure with Bob Harvey

There is a barrage of news and photos about solar storms and the aurora borealis! Wild stuff!

According to those who study the 11-year solar cycle, events should continue to escalate until they hit a max and begin to taper off in 2025. As you can imagine, everyone will try to put together a new tour to go see the northern lights perform!

There is a lot more, for photographers, than just witnessing the light show. We want to compose! For those of us with cameras there are a lot of things to consider. What time of the moon? What about ambient light? What to put in the foreground of the images? Where to get warm? Where to recharge and download? And who’s going to help me make the right decisions once the light show begins?

We’ve built our Iceland Winter program about the ideal time of the moon in the best month for windows between cloudy nights. And, it’s designed to give you several nights in key places – enabling some really fantastic foregrounds.

And, our guide, Siggi, literally wrote the first and best-selling book on photographing auroras in Iceland.

The other side of our Iceland Winter program is that there are so many things to photograph during the day! It’s frustrating to go to a place where there is nothing to photograph all day – and then not be sure if nature will turn on the lights that night!

We’ve lined up waterfalls with ice. An outstanding ice cave (we’ve secured a good block of time to photograph this without pressure from other groups). Ice on the beach – with great angles for sunset and sunrise (remember, the days will be short)! Macros! Freshly washed blue glaciers!
And the glacial lagoon!

All of this with plenty of time to plan – it’s scheduled for early November in 2024. But don’t dally – we expect that all this aurora borealis fever will put pressure on room and space availability!

It’s important to acknowledge that, as always, nature is in charge. Northern lights can be predicted, but not show. Clouds can interfere when the lights are at their best. That’s why our Iceland Winter Program is designed to give you a rich experience during the daylight hours, as well as great positioning for the aurora borealis!
