Slowly working my way through a few terabytes of timelapses shot in Feb and March.

Just after dinner we saw auroras poking through gaps in the cloud. I setup my first camera outside the rental cabin, pointed across the fjord to capture the clouds rolling by.

For the next hour I was helping my FIL shoot the more active auroras in the east. And didn't realise that my cloud timelapse was turning into an aurora timelapse :) Huge win.

@ewen I was 3 days in Lappland, but I couldn't see any. It was way too cloudy 😭

I've met people who missed out after two weeks let alone three days. Sometimes the weather just spoils the party. Usually we expect about three good nights for photography across a two week trip.

The last two years the weather in winter has been terrible though. Climate change is sending warm and wet air up from the south, and that's bad for aurora chasing.
