Kai-Ernst SjøvollA great start to the Northern Lights season in 2026
Ewen Bell 📸This was one of my big projects in recent weeks. Friends of mine and just a stunning part of the world. I'd live here myself if Norway would have me.
Photo Ewen 📷Helping a friend with a shoot this week, having scored a little blue sky. Headed into this fjord to do some fishing, and got some nice scenery as well.
We've had about 40cm of snow in the few days since this shot. Would love to pop back and see what this scene looks like today.
Soon the ice will disappear. I wish it could stay a few weeks longer.
This is what kept me awake all night though.

This morning we had a hint of light getting underneath the snow clouds. Enough to make us smile.
I'm using a 60-600mm telephoto by Sigma for this scene. It's a big lens that I usually don't make an effort to take off the shelf. This winter I've really loved having it with me for chasing birds and snow capped peaks.

Ended up with more clear skies tonight, despite the forecast. Was testing out the S&Q video mode on the new camera today and it happened to be rolling when the aurora spiked in the early evening.
I love a little moonlight with aurora photography, even a full moon.
Here's a lowres version so I don't fill up the hard drive space on our mastodon instance :)

The snow came home today!
OMG the change in mood to look out the windows and see a foot of fluffy white stuff in every direction.
Some folks get sad in winter from a lack of sunlight. I get sad from a lack of snow. Climate Change is wrecking the party in Arctic Norway, and we've had weeks of rain instead of snow. But today is a good day. Today is lovely.
This evening we got a little aurora dancing before dinner.
Am starting to get a better knack for reading the satellite data. I still tend to be overly optimistic about how quickly the space weather will arrive on earth, but at least I was ready and waiting when the nordlys began their thing.
