Northern Lights
Aurora Borealis - as spotted last week on September 11 at Lake Tornetr�sk close to the Swedish/Norwegian border in Lapland - some 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
It was extremely cold, my batteries were dying and I could hardly move my fingers after the first hour outside the sleeping bag. So please excuse that I totally messed up exposure on some!
This thread belongs to my Lapland series, with the following threads so far: Reindeer-mania: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138573 Climbing Kebnekaise: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138703 Ladjuvaggi&Tarfala: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138716
1: Just after sunset, you can still see the red glow in the sky. Unfortunately this was my first shot that night and I totally underexposed, so I had to compensate later in processing.
2: Slightly better exposed, shortly afterwards.
3: They also come as stripes.
4: Detail
5: .. even more
6: .. always changing shape, coming and going ...
7: You can nicely see Ursa Major (the Big Bear) on this one and all following ones.
8: The darker it gets, the more stars you can see.
9: I spent almost the whole night outside
10: But I won't post all of the images I took that night.
