More of my first attempts at photographing the Northern Lights.
These were taken with the Canon R5 and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II near Skarsvåg, Norway.
A faster lens with less coma (an optical aberration) definitely would’ve been the better choice…

A few nights ago she said "Yes!" under a crazy aurora show! 😍 #aurorahunting #rovaniemi #finland #visitrovaniemi #lapland
I can’t even put into words how last night felt. It was the second time in my life that I saw the northern lights but somehow it felt completely new.
The forecast showed a solar storm, barely a 1% chance for my region. I set an alarm for 3AM. I jumped out of bed, looked out my kitchen window and froze.

My heart started racing. I grabbed my camera, ran out into the night across empty fields. -1°C, silence all around me, just me and the sky.

This time I could actually see the lights with my own eyes. For a few minutes I forgot the cold, forgot how tired I was. I just stood there completely still, smiling like an idiot at 3:30AM.

The photos aren’t perfect. The lens wasn’t right (first to pics made with my phone) But that moment. that feeling of being so small, yet so connected - that’s something a picture could never truly capture.

Two nights in my life that I’ll never forget.
And last night was pure magic💜
