Kirkjufell and Northern Lights
The iconic mountain Kirkjufell and its famous waterfall Kirkjufellfoss with the aurora. One of the highlights of my Iceland trip was seeing the northern lights above Kirkjufell. I stayed three nights in the area and saw the aurora on two of those nights. The display I witnessed was amazing and I photographed them for over three hours. Here I set up by the waterfall and caught the amazing green glow over the falls and mountains.
When planning my trip to Iceland it was all built around certain photography destinations-this being one of them. I timed the trip for early September to be after the worst of the tourist crunch and also to have a little bit of darkness to see the aurora. We had roughly a 3.5 hour window of darkness every night 11:30pm until 3 am when we could see it. I camped nearby and by staying three nights hoped I would be able to have a clear night to see the lights. I was lucky enough to have two nights here to see the aurora.
I said "Wow!" a lot here. :-)
Also, to help you understand words in Icelandic: Kirk is church; Fell is mountain; foss is waterfall. So this is Church Mountain and Church Mountain Falls when translated.
One of the highlghts of my trip.

Magic Cloth & Northern Lights Tutorial
The number 1 requirement for using the Magic Cloth Technique is having a long exposure, so you can control the exposure to different parts of the scene. So when you are in the wonderful position of photographing northern lights, which typically involve exposures between 5 and 30 seconds, the number 1 requirement is already met without having to add filters. The only extra equipment you will need is a straight edge cloth or card, although I have found that a large mitten works just fine.

Aurora over Alaska
The northern lights dancing in the sky over Wasilla, Alaska. I spent 5 nights looking for the lights to no avail. Finally I went out one morning at 0400 to see this. The lights filled the sky. This is actually looking south! We grabbed the gear and headed north out of town shooting until sunrise. WOW!
