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. |
