Living above the arctic circle can be hard because of the 24h of darkness in the winter. But when the sun comes back, we are all very happy! This is the first sunrise in over a month in my town!

Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in a fly-in community in Nunavut called Taloyoak.Time
It was taken around 11:30am, the first day that the sun rose above the horizon in 2018!Lighting
In the arctic circle, the communities go through several months of 24-hour darkness in the winter, and 24-hours of light in the summer! This is the first time in the year that the sun breached the horizon in 2018.Equipment
This photo was shot with a Nikon 5200. The lens was a Nikon 18-35.Inspiration
I was very excited to finally have the sun back after several months, so we decided to go an celebrate its arrival!Editing
No post-processing done here!In my camera bag
The only things I have in my kit bag when I’m doing nature-shots are my base and my lenses!Feedback
I suggest people try to find something that inspires them and makes them exciting about photography. That’s the best way to get an amazing shot!
