Northern Lights and Northern Norway

Kernuak:
A few weeks ago, I had a trip to Northern Norway to see and try to photograph the Northern Lights. Of course, that meant I "had" to buy a new lens, as I didn't have a fast wideangle. Since its release, I'd been looking at the 24mm L f/1.4 II, but I couldn't decide whether to get that lens or the Zeiss 21mm or TS/E 24mm. The need for a wide aperture finally decided it and pushed me into the purchase. I was a little over-ambitious, as I tried to get a bit of foreground in focus, using hyperfocal focusing, which is slightly awkward, when the DoF scale goes from 3m to infinity. As a result, I missed focus on quite a few, but I did manage to get some shots of the Aurora, even though activity was pretty quiet.

I also had an opportunity to try some night shots.

And on the last day, the weather cleared to get some shots of the winter twilight, a blue light I had never experienced before.

The shots are great!  Shooting the northern lights is on my bucket list, as is the purchase of a fast wide angle lens.

Gorgeous pics. The stars really make the north lights images.

Thanks for showing.
