Northern Light Photography holiday in Iceland
One of the highlights when it comes to photographing in Iceland is capturing images of its incredible Northern Lights display. Join us in Iceland for one of our northern light photography holidays. During Winter months, these natural light shows can be seen dancing across night skies with a dazzling array of colours ranging from deep greens and blues all through shades or purple, pink and yellow too. It is important to plan ahead if you want great shots though as they usually only last between 10 minutes to 2 hours at any given time, so timing really counts here. We plan the trip with preciise timing to capture the most stunning Northern Lights. We will bring you to the right spot on the right time as long as the weather conditions are favourable.
