2021 – My Photographic Year in Review

After the difficult year 2020 turned into, 2021 came back with a bang for my photography. During 2020, I suffered from what I like to call a "photographic writer's block".

Aurora Borealis Northern Lights Photography Reykjanes Peninsula

That is, until Saturday October 30th, when a CME (coronal mass ejection) was forecasted to hit the Earth’s magnetic field.

Memorable Encounter With a Seal Pup

Two weeks ago, I went on my first photography excursion, other than the eruption, since early March. I travelled to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and had an awesome weekend filled with wildlife encounters. One of those encounters really resonated with me.

The eruption has been on-going for several weeks and during that time I have been thinking a lot about whether or not I would get the opportunity to photograph the northern lights above the eruption.
