Aurora Borealis
This year, I traveled up north to see the mighty spectacle of the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights. The picture was taken in the blistering cold north of Kiruna.
I fact, it was so cold, I had issues with the focal distance of my lenses. In order to get a sharp projection, I had to select a more narrow aperture, which necessitated a long exposure. I assume it may be due to the adapter ring I'm using to mount the EF lenses to my RF camera. Luckily I was able to capture the aurora at a time when it was both comparatively stable and also very bright.
For anyone wanting to capture the aurora themselves, I recommend: a wide angle prime lens, testing the maximum ISO setting for your camera that produces a manageable amount of noise, opening the aperture wide, max. 1s shutter speed for the fast movement and very warm clothes.
