What went from a huge disappointment turned into the best day of my life. I was kicked off the plane going north to Qaanaaq due to weight issues on the plane. I was frustrated because the next flight was a week later. Stuck in Ilulissat, I called my friend that owned the boating tour company to see if I could go out that evening. What I was able to see was the best gift of nature I could ever ask for. I had never seen light like this. It was majestic. Some of the images had split colors strewn across the icebergs but this one was captured right before the sun went down and the colors were stunning. I couldn’t believe I had this light with the wave reflection plus a little ribbon of a cloud off to the right to accent the sunset.

As a photographer, this was the best day of my life because later that evening I witnessed a stunning display of the aurora borealis. But as a human, this reaffirmed my commitment to capture the beauty of our planet and document icebergs that are no longer with us. This image is very special to me and I’m so grateful that I was on the water to memorialize the moment.

This image is part of a series. One iceberg, one evening, different light that transformed its presentation.

As a principle, I do not do much editing to my photos. At most, I may adjust tones and brightness because I intentionally bracket or shoot dark to preserve details. This image is an exception to the rule because I lifted the shadow up and bumped up the vibrance to make this a statement piece.
