Description
I do not claim to be an expert photographer, with only a little over a year under my wings I have more now than ever to learn about photography.But with over 40000 pictures taken and almost half being of the aurora I do think it gives me a little edge when it comes to taking images of the phenomena, something I am more than happy to share.
Hope you like this.

Jeg har ikke enda sett nordlys pΓ₯ dagtid, og nΓ₯r det er mΓΈrkt har du ikke det lyset du trenger for og kunne realisere ett bilde skutt med F.11, hadde jeg brukt det mΓ₯tte jeg har brukt sΓ₯pass lang lukkertid ( oppmot 1 minutt ) eller sΓ₯ hΓΈy iso at bildet ville enten ha hatt lite til ingenting indikasjon pΓ₯ bevegelse i nordlyset eller sΓ₯ mye noise at det ville vΓ¦rt ubrukelig.
Jeg Γ₯pner opp linsa ( laveste f stop ) mest mulig slik at mere lys kan komme igjennom, som igjen gjΓΈr at jeg kan ha lavere lukkertid og laver iso, selvsagt er ikke f 2.8 det aller skarpeste med en 14-24mm linse ( f 5.6 er ) men det er en byttehandel mellom litt skarphet og mye raskere lukkertid.
Personlig anbefaler jeg og gΓ₯r for ett objektiv som er raskt ( f 3.5 og helst enda raskere ) som har bra glass, det betyr ofte noen kroner ekstra, men det er en investering bildene dine vil takke deg for.

I'll go in north-Norway soon. Even if only for 5 days

Awesome, you are going to enjoy the northern lights, and you are coming just at the right time, the cloud cover that has been hovering over northern norway will have moved almost completely away in 5 days.

I still intent on going doing it at some point, rather sooner than later.
Thanks for the tutorial. Those tips like recommended shutter speed are surely helpful! Being a long exposure fan I would've started with 30 sec or more

You are certainly welcome.
Yeah being mindfull of shutter speed is key for capturing the aurora, especially if you want a more realistic approach which most do.

I can image that a long shutter speed will make it one big blur and do it no good. I never realized before it was such a fast moving thing, as I generally see just pictures of it or timelapses (which don't tell you anything about real movement)

Most time-lapse sequences of the aurora will make it look faster, especially if its 3+ seconds shutter speed and 24 frames /s.
An extended sequence where you have 1-2 seconds shutter speed and 12 frames will provide a much more realistic look at how the aurora moves.

Thank you very much! Now, when I am chasing phantom, non-existent auroras all over southwestern Ontario, I'll know what to do!

Thank you very much.
I have read through your tutorials and you would be the first person to call If I ever come down to Australia to do some astrophotography which I have to say is very tempting.
