It is something I have always wanted to see and photograph, we got a call from reception in the hotel to let us know that they could be seen, to be honest to start off with you couldn't see anything more than just a haze, but the camera was picking up a lot more than the eye.
We waited until around 9pm and head up the main sledge/ski slope to get away from the street lights.
I didn't really know what setting to have the camera on so I did a little reading on the internet before we head out, ideally its something you would practice, but as we where only there for 2 nights and it was cloudy on the first night I just had to wing it.
Here are the pics I got, sorry but there are quite a few.
Mike.
Hello again, Mike... no need to apologise for the number of pics... they are brilliant to see! I would love to see this myself. I wouldn't know where to begin with settings. Congratulations... you did a great job. I'm going aurora green with envy ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shirley, its been a life long dream for myself and wife to see these so as you can image we are both over the moon and luckily have the pics for memories. :D
DeleteWow, and all this on the only night available. So nice to see the great bear in the sky , we only get the southern cross and orion. Lovely shots and so colourful. Really well done for a first timer.
