Arctic style disco lights, and the moon turned into a star.
Captured with the TT Artisan 14mm F2.8. Very compact little lens. Plenty of optical blemishes, but at this price who cares. Fun and compact. Good companion for the Lumix S9.

Was one of those nights last night. 5 hours of shooting. Hard drives are full. Left knee is killing me.
Totally worth it.

✨🔭 New observations of #Ganymede 🌖reveal a surprising similarity between the #auroras 🌌 on the #SolarSystem's largest #moon and those on #Earth 🌍. A team of space physicists has obtained new results suggesting that the fundamental physical processes that generate auroras are common to different celestial bodies.

I probably should be back out there taking more photos, but I came home for a bit to get warm and have a hot meal. And part of me wants to head to bed, and part of me wants to sit out in the cold and hope to see a few more of these.
The beauty of the movement, the shapes, the colours and the transience is something I will never be able to fully grasp. But I keep trying.

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 :)

Adding this little video to my thread. It's not a great video, captured as an after thought. But does show two things...
https://vimeo.com/1149188863/513d029b1e
Firstly, the speed of an active aurora in real time. You see ripples moving across the sky in this footage, and the colour shifts. Some auroras barely move at all, others on this night were racing much faster still. They vary a lot. But hopefully this footage conveys the dynamic nature of auroras.
The other thing this footage demonstrates is the different between still photos and video. A 4sec exposure for the stills, versus 1/25th of second for video. This was shot on a Lumix S9 with an F2.8 lens and ISO 128000. A faster lens would help, not to mention waiting for a moonlit aurora event :)

Got a wonderful opportunity to shoot with the 11mm Fisheye last night. Still not sure this is the lens for me, but definitely can see the value of such a wide perspective on such a big night of auroras.
Here's a little sequence from a timelapse series below. If you want to watch the video, there's a copy of that now posted on my tubes:

This lens by the way is an 11mm Fisheye F2.8 by TT Artisan. It's noticeably darker than their 14mm F2.8, and even though it's very very small it's noticeably heavier too. These are very affordable lenses and offer a decent ratio of fun:spend :)

Went out to dinner last night for a Christmas celebration with friends. Then things kind of escalated. From now on when we talk about the "Christmas Lights" this is what we're really hoping for :)
PSA, always have your camera gear in the car when you drive to a friends place in the north!

One of the challenges for me when shooting auroras is to capture a sense of the scale. The wider the lens, the more you diminish the events in the sky. The narrower the lens, the less of the action you get in the frame.
And then there's a question of how close you push elements of the scene into the foreground. The lens choice also plays with the perspective. Am sure a few of the more dedicated landscape photographers here can attest to the tendency for ultra wide lenses to make an otherwise magnificent mountain range look small and trivial.
Would love to see what other folks here are doing with the fish-eye perspective. How to lean into it, versus trying to subdue it.

Got a chance to experiment a little with the 11mm fisheye last night before dinner. Might take a while to get my head around the fisheye effect, and whether this lens will suit my creative bent.

Very early this morning, at around 5am, I was awake to see clear skies above and the very tail end of last night's auroras. Popped out to grab a few shots on the new 14mm F2.8, then headed back to bed for a sleep in :)
