"The Rocks of the Gods" 💚🇳🇴
While scouting that afternoon at Skagsanden Beach I had chosen a totally different foreground to shoot the aurora.
But I hadn't calculated one thing...the tide.
As soon as the show begins, we jump into the car and rush to the beach: however, the sea has retreated by at least twenty metres, revealing these 3 large rocks.
I look at them, but that's a game "to be played in the dark" and it's really complex to compose an image without having first reasoned with the light of the sun.
So I decided not to bet and enjoy the aurora borealis by shooting the compositions I had previously imagined...but with one eye I’m always looking at those rocks with such magnetic shapes.
An hour passes, and by now I'm enjoying the show walking on the beach with the tripod on my shoulder, when solar activity has a sudden surge: in a moment I'm already among those rocks.
It's a paradise of vertical shapes meeting the Northern Lights and I know right away that I'm taking the best photograph of that evening.
