I hope this post will help anyone […]

16 tips for photographing the Northern Lights

March 17, 2019 by Mike Leave a Comment

I was stood in the freezing cold darkness of one of Lofoten’s Arctic beaches trying to photograph the Aurora for the first time. But how do you even photograph the Aurora? I didn’t know. It took some trial and error, and a week chasing the Aurora in the van, until I got some photos I […]

How not to hike Norway’s highest mountain peak – and where to park your van

November 1, 2018 by Mike 6 Comments

We were right in front of the highest mountain peak in Norway. So we parked the van and walked up it. ‘Walked’ is the wrong word. We only just made it to the top. We weren’t prepared. We didn’t check the weather. We don’t have any ‘gear’, my boots have Gaffa tape on them and […]
