The way home

    Me and Indriði went out on short notice last night for a quick 2-3 hour spin up into Bláfjöll and we got lucky with the borealis that night. They were fairly weak to the point that since it was somewhat cloudy, you weren´t really sure if you were taking a photograph of a cloud or aurora borealis but fortunately, given the right camera settings, the camera picks them up better than the naked eye.

    This is taken close to Hafnarfjörður, looking southwest and is pretty close to where I took the last shot for my PAW project last year, this time I was wearing significantly warmer clothing. The lights on the horizon is ambient light coming from Hafnarfjörður.

    I got quite a number of what I consider to be good photographs that night so you may expect 3-4 more shortly.

      Mjög flott norðurljósamynd. Frábært hvað 5Dan er góð á ISO 1600. Maður þarf greinilega að fá sér svona græju. Annars voru mjög flott norðurljós kvöldið áður í því miður hálfskýjuðu veðri.

      Toppmynd af norðurljósum.

      Frábær norðurljósamynd! Virkilega flott mynd.

    13. spoldman (65 months ago | reply)

      Flott mynd, flottar stjörnurnar og norðurljósin frábær. Greinilega meira af norðurljósum en maður heldur því ég hef ekki séð þau í vetur því eins og kanski flestir vita þá eru þau einmitt í lágmarki þetta árið
