These aren't the best shots of the aurora. I've added them, though, to show a realistic view of what most aurora sightings are typically like. Iceland has notoriously cloudy weather, especially in the winter. Most of our time in Iceland was spent driving long distances to get out of the weather in order to catch a glimpse of the lights under a clear sky. Often we could tell that a show was happening through small cracks in the cloud cover but couldn't really see anything significant.
Another thing that made seeing the aurora difficult was the moon, which can easily overpower the lights. In these shots we had a full moon as well as low, fast moving clouds. It was also cold and windy as all hullabaloo. The intense wind (seriously, it'll push cars off the road) makes it really hard to walk or hold a camera, especially walking on ice. To top it off, for these shots I was also having to constantly clear the lens of snow, bits of grass, and ice particles that would fly into the frame. Super typical examples how shooting in Iceland can be tricky business.
