Background information about Earth and Heaven

When marveling over the aurora borealis as they dance and swirl across the night sky, no one is left in any wonder as to why so many early humans believed them to be messages from or a gateway to heaven. Any opportunity to shoot them is an incredible chance to embody the ethereal magic of our universe, particularly when combined with a visit to Budir church on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.
This historic building embodies so much of Iceland’s culture and history; abandoned almost to disrepair during industrialization and revived as tourism revitalized the countryside, its spectacular surroundings, and windswept ambiance is perfectly indicative of the region.
Of course, however, just visiting Budir on a winter night is not enough to guarantee a display of the Northern Lights. In fact, I’d been shooting the peninsula for a week, hopeful each evening for clear skies, only for this elusive phenomenon to evade me. The responsibilities of Reykjavik calling, I decided to spend a final night at the Budir hotel before returning in the morning, although I was fully expecting another disappointment.
The wonderful thing about the unpredictability of Iceland’s weather, however, is that it doesn’t just go wildly off forecast when the conditions are supposed to be sunny. After weeks of cloud and predictions for more, the cover dissipated over dusk, as if responding to my discouraged pleas. Though the display was not as bright to the eye as one might hope, a camera can pick up far more than we can see when in the right hands.
Using a long exposure and wide-angle lens to let in every bit of light possible, I was not only able to capture a sky filled with dancing green auroras over a mystical landscape and lonely church, but illuminate the breathtaking, snow-capped mountain range that defines the Snaefellsnes Peninsula behind.

Product details
State Of The Art Technology For Extreme Resolution
Iurie | Fine Art Acrylic Prints are printed seamlessly in the highest quality and mounted under acrylic glass. These Luxury Fine Art prints have outstanding detail reproduction and long-lasting colours. Using elastic silicone to mount the piece under highly transparent 4mm acrylic glass gives your photograph unbeatable depth and incomparable contrast. Acrylic glass is light, shatterproof and resistant to temperature fluctuations.
This process offers a clean, gallery-quality presentation and modern look that will dramatically enhance any private home or business facility. Fine Art prints produced this way show incredible visual depth and an almost 3d quality full of high definition details, beautiful tonal transitions and incredibly vibrant colors. Light that falls across and reflects off of the face of artwork is visually "trapped" within the acrylic glass and when properly lit, appears to be illuminated or back-lit.
Iurie | Fine Art produces photo prints on Lumachrome or Fuji Flex paper using modern laser exposure techniques and a traditional developing process. We guarantee 100 years of colour brilliance for our original photo prints.
