Normally, a full moon is not great for Northern Lights photography. Since the moon is such a bright source of light, it requires the aurora activity to be quite high. Smaller displays that would be visible during the new moon are now barely visible.
During this extremely cold winter night in 2018, all the elements worked together. The Northern Lights were active enough to be seen vividly in the night sky. To make things even more exciting, a layer of fog was rolling in over the frozen mountain lake.
It’s moments like this that we photographers live for. It’s during these moments all those failed attempts are worth it. The only thing that matters is the moment you’re living right now.
Tales of the Arctic Night is an exclusive mini-collection by Norwegian landscape photographer Christian Hoiberg. All images are 1/1 and grants an Extended Editorial license to the collector.
I still remember the first time I witnessed the Northern Lights. It was an unexplainable sensation where all I could do was shout out in pure excitement. I’ve since located North of the Arctic Circle where I’ve had the pleasure to witness hundreds of incredible displays in the night sky.
That initial excitement is still there. You can’t help but smile and stare mesmerized as the sky turns green and various shapes and patterns spread in all directions.
But it wasn’t until late 2020 that I connected with the Northern Lights at a deeper level. It was when everything was at the darkest that the Northern Lights became a symbol of hope. A light in the dark.
Staring up at the Aurora has a meditative effect. It’s healing. I found that no matter what I was dealing with, it didn’t matter once the Northern Lights began. It became symbolic.
