We specifically booked our week in Iceland during February half term, so that we'd have a much better chance of seeing the Northern Lights. We even went to the trouble of renting a cabin out in the wilderness, where we were guaranteed dark skies. Sadly, the Northern Lights were a no-show. But I did whip out the trusty 200mm to capture a nice shot of the moon, which was crystal clear on the second night.

This photograph was taken with the Fujifilm X-T5 and the magnificent Fujifilm XF 200mm f2 R LM OIS WR.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
