Vestrahorn, on the Stokksnes peninsula in Southeast Iceland, is one of the countryβs most breathtaking mountains. Here the Aurora Borealis has been captured during a long display which had continued into the early hours of the morning. This scene is set back from the popular tourist area and this pool of water lay between the sand dunes and the beach in front. Having decided earlier that this was the place to be if we were to get an Aurora, I remained patiently at this location until the sun went down and into the night. I had doubts earlier in the night as not much was happening but patients paid off when the sky lit up with one of mother natures most spectacular displays. Taking a series of shots and making adjustments in compositions with low light proved challenging but managed to come away with a shot that represents the magic of Iceland.

Artist Bio
Nick Psomiadis was born in 1968 in Melbourne, Australia to Greek parents who migrated to the country in the mid-sixties. He received his education from a Technical School, renowned for its comprehensive curriculum integrating both academic and practical skills. This solid foundation paved the way for his successful career in jewelry making, which spanned nearly two decades starting in 1986. Additionally, he indulged in his love for photography, which he pursued as a hobby and pastime.
In 2011, Nick made a life-changing decision to follow his passion for photography, leaving behind a fulfilling profession. He furthered his education, completing a course of studies that encompassed both theory and practical training, and was conferred with a "Diploma of Photography." However, he quickly realized that turning his passion into a profession would require immense effort and dedication.
Establishing a home studio, Nick laid the foundation for his art, which he created and exhibited for a decade. In the winter of 2021, he achieved a significant milestone by purchasing a studio and gallery space in Melbourne, departing from his modest home studio. Nick currently produces photographic fine art, prints, and displays his works under the name N I K A R T Studio & Gallery, 7/20 Ponting Street Williamstown, Vic 3016.
Nick draws inspiration from both the natural landscape and the built environment, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to capture an ephemeral moment in time.
