With the last light of the sun fading slowly at Midnight the Aurora was faint in the sky. Then we got a really strong burst for a few seconds and the whole sky light up in a fantastic display over Hovden in the Vesterålen islands. Most of my pictures are taken with my d300 set to 30secs at F4 iso 800 and 12mm Tokina 12-24 lens. It was some thing special with the last light of the day in the background.

Nikon D3 1000 ISO f/2,8 14-24 mm

As the winter rapidly let go, and the days are heading towards spring, the days are getting longer. We can even see the last rest of sunlight at midnigt. In the last few days, there has been lots of Aurora in Vesterålen islands, Norway. These pictures was taken at Good Friday and Easter Eve. All pictures taken various places in Sortland community, Norway. Equipment: Nikon D90, Sigma 10-20, ISO 800-1250,exp. 15-25 secs.

With one foot in Sweden and the other in Norway I enjoyed some Aurora Borealis last night. Standing at the border between Norway and Sweden I did some photographing using my Canon 550D and 15mm objective. It was really lovely.
