apertureonepointfourMany 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.
