Have you ever seen the Aurora Borealis? This was the first time for me and Emily and it couldn’t have happened in a more beautiful time and place. Shortly following a workshop that we taught in Stockholm we took off in our rental car for the long 1,500 mile roundtrip trek up towards the town or Kiruna in northern Sweden, near the border of Finland.
Having never seen the Northern Lights before we weren’t quite sure what to expect, but it was on our Bucket List and we were going to do everything we could to capture them if it was possible. We arrived near Kiruna and went out looking for the Aurora. And what we found was AMAZING!
PLEASE check out the video below to see our Ten Tips to capture fantastic images of the Northern Lights. Below are some samples of what we captured while out there. These are the shots that I captured. These were captured over many different locations that we shot on the same night. The lights lasted a good 2-3 hours while we went from location to location. It was surreal.
Emily on the other hand chose to create a time lapse by keeping her camera in the same spot and the results were incredible. Below is one of her shots where she captured a shooting star in the composition:
To see the beautiful time lapse that we created with Emily’s shots please check out the video above!
In regards to gear both Emily and I used the Sony A7Riii. My lens was the Canon 11-24mm and hers was the Sony Zeiss 16-35mm f/4.
