Aurora Borealis - Iceland

This was my first experience of photography and the Northern lights. I went on a workshop with Mark Bauer and stayed in a traveling hotel.

 

We didn't get a great display of northern lights with these having a 0.86kp reading. You would normally hope for 3-4kp for them to be visible to the eye.

 

When we started the course and he asked us to set our cameras to bulb, i knew i was out of my depth!

 

This picture has been taken on a 60 second exposure to get the colour but with this you start to get issues with the stars. Might not be the best picture but i learnt a lot.
