This was filmed between 29th April and 10th May 2011 in the Arctic, on
the archipelago Lofoten in Norway.
My favorite natural phenomenon is one I do not even know the name of, even after talking to meteorologists and astrophysicists I am none the wiser.What I am talking about I have decided to call The Arctic Light and it is a natural phenomenon occurring 2-4 weeks before you can see the Midnight Sun.
The Sunset and Sunrise are connected in one magnificent show of color and light lasting from 8 to 12 hours. The sun is barely going below the horizon before coming up again. This is the most colorful light that I know, and the main reason I have been going up there for the last 4 years, at the exact
same time of year, to photograph. Based on previous experience, I knew this was going to be a very
difficult trip. Having lost a couple of cameras and some other equipment up there before, it was crucial to bring an extra set of everything. I also
made sure I had plenty of time in case something went wrong.
If you can imagine roping down mountain cliffs, or jumping around on slippery rocks covered in seaweed with 2 tripods, a rail, a controller,
camera, lenses, filters and rigging for 4-5 hour long sequences at a time, and then
having to calculate the rise and fall of the tides in order to capture the essence - it all prved bit of a challenge.
And almost as if planned, the trip would turn out to become very
difficult indeed. I had numerous setbacks including: airline lost my
luggage, struggling to swim ashore after falling into the Arctic sea: twice, breaking lenses, filters, tripod, computer, losing the whole dolly rig and controller into the sea, and even falling off a rather tall rock and ending
up in the hospital. As much as I wanted to give up, the best way Out is
always "Through". I am glad I stuck it through though because there were some amazing sunrises waiting. At 1:06 you see a single scene from day to night to day.
I asked the very talented Marika Takeuchi to specifically compose and
perform a song for this movie, and what she came up with is absolutely remarkable. Thank you very much Marika!

Every now and then I come back to this video. It's been 11 year now. I love it ❤

[@luizbudhead]

Eu também!!!

[@kanelevg]

10 years! So much changes but it still one of the best nature video's

[@paulvalenzuela5847]

You sir bring tears to my eyes. Your perspective, choice of music it's magical.

[@Mamalovesrocks]

Spellbinding...the music takes you there and the photos keep you there. Magnificent!

[@CapriChia]

Before I watch a video, I check to see how long it is. But watching this makes you forget that time exists altogether and you just sit back and watch beauty fly before your eyes.... I LOVE this, truly captivating :)

[@LittleLulubee]

These sights and sounds are sooo utterly GORGEOUS.... It just takes my breath away.....

[@TheUnchainedMind]

I find myself at a lack for words to describe the beauty you managed to capture. Bravo, amazing, wonderful job.

[@mentehe1]

The best video on youtube by far.........Thanks up-loader.........thanks photographer......thank u all for reminding us that beauty still has a place on our planet.....................

[@killershark88]

This has got to be the most beautiful piece of photography I've ever seen. THIS SHOULD HAVE MORE VIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Sabassan]

Our planet is truly amazing. Thank God for blessing us with such beauty!!!!

[@raisen90timpa]

there are no words that can explain the beauty of this video, both visual and musically, simply astonishing

[@cabomusico]

THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE BEAUTY THAT IS THE PLANET WE LIVE IN... THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WORK AND SUFFER TO BRING US ALL THIS BEAUTIFUL IMAGES.

[@francescoalessandromattia75]

I got to know Marika Takeuchi through this composition. Oddly, I never read the description, therefore I thought it was a series of pictures. Only now, after five years, I realise this is the result of hard work in the Artic. You are a great photographer. Thank you so much, truly.

[@tcradical]

Thank you TESOPHOTOGRAPHY, because of you I was able to see this natural phenomenon, it is like being there. Beautiful shoots, I don't have enough words to thank you for what you have done. Your persistence and love of life give wonderful results, you must be a very happy soul.

[@Cha-Khia]

The wonderful side of nature, so pleasant to look at, so wonderful and fulfilling to see. I try not to think of the scary things she can do.

[@TomTaberHODL]

Terje - Thank you for following your passion and capturing this beauty. It is truly a gift to the world.

[@ladybug30princess]

i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making these kinds of videos.when i am having a bad day or i am just really stressed out i love to watch this video and it really puts things into perspective for me. it makes me realize just how minor my problems are and reminds me of how many beautiful places there are in this world and it gives me hope that one day i will get to see more of it

[@furiousfapper6847]

This song perfectly captures the immense beauty of nature and life itself

[@PrometheusReturns]

Pay no attention, give no energy, entertain no thoughts to all those who disliked this; it is wasted energy. Instead, resonate in the beauty of this work.

[@nancykottke8935]

Beautiful. Just before my mom got sick she shared this with me. We were both working on finding the sheet music for this. Gosh I miss her. 12 years

[@xmanxn]

there's some places like this in this world that we all ignore. when i leave my home all the days and when i think about how is my city, i can't stop me from thinking about this fabulous landscapes so far away from me, and at this moment, i realize how the world is huge, and how i'm so small among this nation. I need to escape, I need to breathe, I want to see at least once in my life this kind of area. peace

[@shoppinmadnesz22]

Words cannot begin to describe how beautiful nature really is and how beautiful this song is

[@shuriKen469]

thank you TSO (TESO) for this video and Marika Takeuchi for the music! not only were my eyes and ears amazed, my whole body enjoyed it.

[@xMikanNamix]

That's just brilliant. I love these videos so much, simply stunning. Can't even imagine how breathtaking it is just to be there.

[@mohawkninja909]

You know, at first I thought I had heard this somewhere, in a movie, on television maybe. But for the life of me, I couldn't remember where I heard it. Suddenly, it dawned upon me, I hadn't heard this through any media outlet ever before, I had heard it in my heart.

[@djvandrake]

This is so remarkably beautiful! The story of your difficulties in obtaining these incredible images make viewing them all the more special. Thank you so very much for sharing your art with us, you are truly talented. The music composed for this is just wonderful too!

[@dragonmasterblade200]

I am sorry, but why does this have only 200 thousand views! And why would anyone ever click dislike on such a gorgeous video that makes you feel inspired and warm on the inside.

[@derekdentSE]

Guys. Many people have been asking for the song's name in this video. If you read the comments by TESOPHOTOGRAPHY in his video, it clearly states that the song was composed specifically for the song, meaning it is very unlikely that there are any tutorials or sheet music out there. However, if you want to know, the song's name is "The Arctic Light" by Marika Takeuchi.

[@siicpaxsheechpaw]

@TESOPHOTOGRAPHY Your videos are poetry in motion under a liquid sky,they search our soul and bring a tear to our eye.Hey!!! I'm poet and didn't even Know it!!! LOL.

[@nad0211]

This place is heaven on earth, went there for the first this summer and I really loved it!

[@MissDistarr60]

I came back once again to view this extraordinary video you created. The last time I was here, I failed to read what you had written, describing the events of your trip. I'm so glad you stuck it out, as I'm sure many others are. The film is simply stunning. As I sat here and really took in what it was that I was seeing, I realized that for me, it helps put things into perspective. Thank you for your efforts and please know they are appreciated and please extend the same to Marika Takeuchi.

[@lovexkarina]

Cherish this beautiful Earth, we won't live here forever. Did an amazing job, tesophotography.

[@jiawei18]

It's beautiful... Pure beauty... I would pay to watch this kinda video... I wish this kind of video lasts more than 10mins..

[@Jmlad91]

This video is gonna be on repeat for me throughout the winter, it will definitely help me get through the cold weather and early night depression. I'm from Michigan so yea it's gonna suck

[@chipperly]

You should know that the scenes that you capture mean so much to me. Thank you for your hard work...I'm a big fan!

[@Ollovka]

i really cried on this beautiful peace of art

[@averageGoat_meh_eh_eh_eh]

It makes me happy knowing that there are places like these still in our modern world. I would love to direct a movie with a story line that coinsided with this landscape.

[@wowdrali]

This makes me so calm, from now I watch these videos everyday, somehow it just relaxes me, i forget all my problems, reality...

[@ashleybrown013]

life is beautiful. one day i would love to explore these astounding places

Thank you. It is a delight to see these videos. It reminds me of God's great creation and the wonder of our world. It is a great gift given to us ... must be looked after. Thanks again for sharing. (Gracias. Es un deleite ver estos videos. Me recuerdan la gran creaciòn de DIOS y lo maravilloso de este mundo. Es un deleite verlos. Gracias nuevamente por compartirlos)

[@breakingthisdown]

In a God-awful mood. This helped a little, but mostly I'm a bit too distracted to thoroughly enjoy it. Hopefully I will remember to watch it again to get the full effect. If anything, stunning-stunning. I can't get over how crisp it all is. Thank you. x

[@Traumpferd]

Nature can be so beautiful!

[@mauroblotta8215]

Lovely music and landscapes soothes my soul

[@iPersiaa]

Finally! After seeing your first 2 videos I have checked back non stop for a new one! Once again, the most amazing thing I have ever seen!

[@diegex1]

Speechless; and after reading your experience in the description is even more amazing, it's like analysing how was the art made. I love Marika's music, and to know that this images were the inspiration for that song made me feel part of this dynamic and full of life universe. Thanks!

[@fzmaster]

Its so perfect that it looks like CG Rendering. Thank you for this perfect video.

[@SquiresFreerunning]

i am 16 years old and there is only one word that can be said about this video BEAUTIFUL

[@rawin1982]

thank you so much for helping us be able to witness wonders through your eyes and lenses.

[@FegrusMojo]

Beautiful ! Thanks for sharing this, the world needs to be seen like this when so much harm is being done to it right now. Our HOME is a truly beautiful place to be living in ;)

[@CameraHouseAus]

This is an absolutely amazing video TSO. We're huge fans of yours, keep up the great work!

[@MissHermit]

Thank you for your effort and endurance in going through the ordeals in capturing this beautiful video. I hope you get well soon. And thank you Marika Takeuchi for composing and performing the music, it's beautiful. The video's breathtaking. Watching your nature videos sometimes remind me of how wasted my life is- while I'm cooped up with the same routine everyday and I just realised there's so many beautiful things out there. Maybe I should take a break and appreciate Mother nature.

[@MissDistarr]

You didn't create a video, you created a beautiful work of art. Both video and audio are amazing. For 3 minutes and 21 seconds, all is right with the world. Thank you.

[@KrakoTheCeltic]

Breathless.... I really have no words....

[@mygodisyahweh3078]

I don't understand why people disliked this videos it's so peaceful

[@InMusic47]

Oh, and thank you, Terje for all the trouble and effort, sacrifice and hard work you've put in to making this. They really are the time-lapse's with soul, it is if we can see all the passion you have for the beauty that lies in nature itself. Thank you for capturing it, and sharing it with the world. I can honestly say that this one, and "The Mountain" are by far the very best and beautiful scenes I've ever seen in my life. I envy you and am grateful at same time. Stay awesome, and safe.

[@katsudonshake]

this is one of the most beautiful films i've ever seen and one of the most beautiful piano pieces i've ever heard. thanks so much!

[@bylm85]

This video is fantastic, and I must say that Marika Takeuchi's song compliments the video greatly. The two together leave me wanting more when the 3:22 are up. Superb!

This video awakens the wanderlust in me and makes me want to travel more. Amazing job!

[@Janikmuck]

I LOVE IT! I can't believe my eyes.. it looks like photomontage, but we all know it's real. And that is what I love about nature and Terje's films and photos. It make us so surprised and excited and we never know, what nature can show us. Thanks, it made my day!

[@caricaturasonlinepr]

A MUST SEE IN 720HD!!! JUST BEAUTIFUL x)

[@TheCromo2010]

amazing movie and music. I love it

[@princessfiiona]

wow. i'm in love with this song.

[@lurker62]

Time lapse; set a camera up to take a still photo every minute, or 5 minutes, or every hour, for several hours, and then stitch all the frames into a movie afterwards. You need c. 24 photos for a second of film! Enormously difficult, time-consuming and prone to catastrophic failures (imagine running it all night & coming back in the morning to find it had rained all the time) -- so the level of dedication an expertise to produce this becomes even more astounding

[@Aue10th]

Just Breathtaking. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@imjustwonderful]

There are few times I click the "Like" button. This is one of them

Quote from commentary on vid: "I asked the very talented Marika Takeuchi to specifically compose and perform a song for this movie, and what she came up with is absolutely remarkable. Thank you very much Marika!" Thank you Marika indeed. ♫ in

The four videos you have up are all the same ... Yes they are, they completly amazing. To think you have only four videos up is a shame, keep the excellent work coming man.

[@yautiano]

I love this video! It is one of my all time favorites in you tube. It produces a state of peace and at the same time an ecstatic sensation due to the beauty of the landscapes. The music is gorgeous and blends so well with the scenery that I take my hat off before the author of this video. It is a true masterpiece of art! Thanks so much for sharing with the world. Greetings from Puerto Rico.

[@Exerus]

Amazing vid. I live in Ak and its stuff like this is why I live here. I know this is norway but it feels just like this.
