This is why i check the weather forecast frequently when the summer solstice approaches because it's the time of wonders as the sun bathes us days and night, but we don't get lucky all the time of course and the location is also a big issue like the camera gear. As for these time-lapse sequences i have this to say because i made several mistakes.

Time Lapse 1 was shot from the High North, near Raufarhöfn villaage and i used way too much zoom since my wide lens was just way too wide for the job. (15-30mm) so i soon lost the chance to do the full curve in one take without moving the camera. But i wanted to show the curve first and foremost, and with a little re-framing in the time-lapse you see this odd and soft summer solstice curve.

The second time lapse was shot from Akureyri when the sun was on it's annual trajectory by the mouth of the fjord Eyjafjörður in late June. And wow how frustrated i was when i noticed all the sensor dust but this was not the evening to mess up my footage. But i liked the outcome so i kept the file and did some dudt repairs, but it's need a bit more before i use it for something else then a time lapse.

And this is more and less just to show you why it's my favourite season and i look forward to do work like this with my upgraded camera gear but my old Nikon D750 was better with photos then videos, and i will take off with a clean sensor next time.
