9/12-2012 I know it was reported to be some activity this evening. But it was cloudy and i had a lot to do after comming back home from the course Later during the evenign the clouds left and the sky was filled with stars and weak auroras So i went out ! Mostly to let a friend of mine to see the lights ! She was very happy !
The weak show actually got brighter and active ! We enjoyed it for an hour ! It was active for 10-15 minutes
We drove to the parking spot at the Turisthytta cottage, where we had a good view north and to the show in the west and east
I didn`t think very much when i saw the lights got brighter above Landegode Island, so i just fired away ! And when we got back I see that i was surrounded with some trees ^^
well have a good lense with a f at 2.8 is good, or works with f3,5 as highest aperture setting. use your highest anyway iso from 500 to 1000, you can experiment with that, it depends on what you get to see. how strong it lights up and how fast it`s moving. your shutter speed from 4 to 30 seconds, depends on your camera. for example you see the settings needed for this picture. Shutter:13/1 second Aperture:F/2.8 Focal Length:11 mm ISO Speed:500 It wasn`t moving that much, but it was quite strong light from it.
Here is one with a fast moving light : [link] where settings was Shutter Speed:8/1 second Aperture:F/2.8 Focal Length:11 mm ISO Speed:640
Wow I never saw northern lights before! (except maybe on tv) Brings back so much great memories cause there was supposed to be a showing of the N.L. but it wasn't dark enough and it turned into star gazing... and it was on July 14th. ♥
