Excerpt from my Blog about a workshop I was coleading with Arild Heitmann & Stian Klo.
"We had seen the northern lights on 5 of the 10 nights, 2 of which were impressive displays. In the wash-up, I made around 3 photos which I put into my middling category of quality landscapes. I know it’s a cliche but really the experience of watching the night sky with a group of ten photographers was what I really will treasure the most. I’ll always remember the excited shout of our driver when the overcast sky cleared for several hours ‘Aurora!’ And we were off, headed for a group of mountains behind our cabins. Watching the wonder on the faces around me, reflecting green and the collective “wows” as the curtains of light suddenly started to rapidly move in a star studded sky was the moment that moved me the most. Even more than the excited chatter and energy on the drive back home afterwards having witnessed something thrilling and special."
