Photographing the Aurora Borealis at Uttakleiv Beach, Norway
We’re celebrating Camera Day by getting a glimpse of what goes into getting a good photo. In the case of today’s image, that means standing in the cold surf on a beach in Norway at night, while the shutter on the camera stays open long enough to capture something as ephemeral as the Northern Lights. Ask any experienced nature photographer: as glamorous as all the travel might seem, much of the job requires patience.
