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…

It was a freezing night – it actually felt colder than my October trip up north chasing the aurora in Norway. But this place is so worth it. To look. To marvel. To photograph.

Many subjects I’ve photographed since I was 11 years old – that was 43 years ago – but the northern lights, also called aurora borealis here in the Northern Hemisphere, were never among them. And my first images of the aurora are far from perfect.

I did learn a few things though: a 24 mm lens is good, but 20 mm or 14 mm would be even better. The lens I used was the Canon EF 24–70 mm f/2.8L II. That maximum aperture of f/2.8 is decent, but next time I’ll be on the lookout for a wide-angle lens with f/1.4.

Most of the time I chose exposure times that were too long, so star trailing was basically guaranteed. I assumed 15 seconds would be fine, and I really should have done my homework more carefully beforehand.

Norway has me completely hooked. The raw coastline, quiet light, and neon-green moss made me fall hard for this place. It’s the one destination I’ll keep coming back to—no matter how long my travel list gets.
