Travel Photo of the Week

Straumur on EXPLORE!

Congratulations to Kristján Jóhann for winning this week’s travel photo of the week with his fascinating take of the Northern Lights over Staumur, Iceland.

Why this Photo Won

I had a difficult time choosing a winner this week with so many different entries that could have won. This specific image stuck out in my mind for a little longer than the others though. I’ve always been fascinated by the Northern Lights and long to shoot them. Everytime a see a picture of the lights, I’m mostly dissapointed with the picture. The lights normally look fantastic, but the foreground leaves a lot to be desired.

Kristjan, however, managed to capture the lights very well and also managed to have a compelling foreground. I love the lead in road throug the snow and the reflection in the lake.
