It's 2am here. Still buzzing from being out for 4 hours with the nordlys. I found a quiet hill-top with a wide open sky, and watched tonight's aurora show ebb and flow. I feel so small beneath the painted sky. It's humbling and beautiful in equal measure.

My cameras were on time-lapse the entire night. One just pointed straight up, the other on the move with me to chase moments.

Night like this are nights I wish everyone could experience. Watching the dance between the solar winds and our planet. It's like science making art.

Sometimes people ask me why I'd want to give up summer to come and immerse myself in the Arctic Winter.

This is why. I love the subtle hues, the extreme climate, the moments of beauty that nature shares with us.

Just havin a normal one here in The Arctic. Another 60GB of RAW files to work through from this evening.

This set was taken with my fisheye lens, because it's super wide with a little over 120° field of view. And that's handy when you want to capture what's happening from one horizon to another.

(Exposures are F4 for 4sec at ISO 4000. Lumix S9 and TT Artisan 11mm F2.8 MF)

Here's one more from the 11mm before I head to bed. Have been shooting auroras for about 15 years, but in some ways it feels like this year I've finally found my happy place with it. Have a better sense of what makes a satisfying composition for me.

Even with a quirky lens like an 11mm Fisheye :)

Goodnight all.

A very small cabin in a very big landscape.

We popped inland a little ways to catch some colder skies and the thrill of having my fingers freeze from holding a camera.

This was the day before yesterday, from our day trip to Setermoen.

Feels like a month ago now. So many auroras and not enough sleep. Have a drive full of photos waiting for my attention. They will have to wait a little longer.

I have a few thousand frames to dig through tonight. Just wanted to share something right away, because it's a little bit exciting.

I wasn't in the mood to head out and shoot tonight. I was tired to the bones after yesterday's outing, and the thought of leaving our cosy cabin to stand in the cold just in case things kicked off was marginal at best. But the satellite data was pretty convincing. And I knew a half decent spot to shoot from, about 10mins drive away.

I grumbled and made a fuss and got in the car and stood out there. Buzzed a buddy and he came to join too. And then it went off like a frog in a sock. Maybe the second best aurora of the season so far. Not fast paced, but very generous and very pretty.

This scene is taken on the Lumix S9 with an 11mm F2.8 MF Fisheye by TT Artisan. Half decent lens. Tricky to tame that fisheye effect, hence setting the horizon as close to the centre as possible.

Off to bed now. Been out there for four hours shooting tonight. Gonna take days to sort through the pics.

I did grab this frame to share quickly though before my brain logs off. A cheeky selfie under the aurora.

Caught a brief glimpse of my eagle today. He taunts me from above, always swooping low when I am without a camera. Today he knew I was ready with the lens, and so headed higher and higher.

Look closely, he's in there!

Today was pink. So very very pink. The blue hour, but flushed with rosey tones.

Adding this to my thread of Norway moments this week, because I just love the atmospheric dance of light in this corner of the fjord. It feels like the entire solar system has jumped in to make a composition for me. So dynamic. So ephemeral. So lucky to be standing here.

This was taken two nights ago, before the rain set in :)

#Norway #Photography #Lumix #Auroras #14mm

And here's the bigger scene to show you where we are. This taken at 28mm, revealing the closer shoreline (and a hint of the salmon factory), and Grovfjord in the distance. That dance of light low on the horizon was a treat today.

I always expect these colours to disappear within a few minutes, but we're in the Arctic and these hues seem to hold for hours. This scene is around 11am, and was still holding at 1pm, although the low clouds had washed over the fjord at Grov and hidden some of the peaks.
