My first shot with auroras and sunset. I went for a walk and did not expect to see northern lights, but suddenly it striked and I had som fun before the coulds took over the show.

We were driving in the Lofoten Islands, located in the North of Norway, when we saw this amazing aurora, enlightening the sky with a powerful green and slightly purple colour! Here, at 10:48 p.m. the sun is not far and give us a blue sky as background. I took this picture with a Nikon D300, ISO 250, f4 and 15s of exposure time.

There was aurora both distant and right above. Dense low fog forced me to drive around a while to find some spots where the aurora was visible.

I was on a short trip on the Coastal steamer MS Midnatsol from Hurtigruten along the Northern coast of Norway, when we where treated for 3 nights in 5 with nice aurora displays. For 3 friends of our party of 5 it was their first northern lights experience !!

My friend told me that he had seen auroras now at the evening, so I decided to go and see if I could photograph some. It was a nice show :) Photo details: Canon eos 400D, Tamron 17-50mm@17mm, f2.8, iso 800.

From some time ago, I don't try to hunt Aurora Borealis. But the last night they are irresistible in Holmsund, North of Sweden. So I returned to my home, I took my cameras and went to work with photos and video. For the photos I used Pentax K-7, ISO 800, 20 seconds at 3,5 lens aperture.
