Ensimmäistä kertaa yritin kuvata revontulia: jalusta, suurin aukko ja 20 sekunnin aika.
The first time I tried to photograph the northern lights: the tripod, the maximum aperture and a 20-second time.
Revontulikoe / Testing Northern Lights / Aurora Borealis

Nicely captured! They are such wonderful colours.

So lovely, Pike. I used to see these most nights when living in Alaska. They are memorizing! I miss them.

Thanks, Carrie, nice to hear that. I don’t know in which country you now live…US? 🙂

Oh sorry. Yes, I live in the U.S. Currently in northern California, I lived in Alaska for 6 years (northern most state in U.S., north west of Canada).

Interesting. I think Alaska is also a marvelous place.

Yes, marvelous indeed. Raw, wild, untouched, expansive and cold. But I really enjoyed living there, I have tried to move back a number of times…we just landed in Northern California this past summer, the redwoods and ocean are incredible!

The two places must be totally different 🙂

It is interesting, Pike. The California shared with the world is Los Angeles (Hollywood) and Malibu (beaches). We moved from Alaska to a suburb of LA and it was intense culture shock. Too crowded and no wild nature. We just moved to this part of California, Northern tip, about 70 miles from the California/Oregon border. It is rugged coastlines, redwood groves, few people, no traffic and a simple life with accessible wilderness. It is a very happy mild middle ground, feels a bit like Alaska in many ways without the darkness and chill. We are much more settled now.

Thank you! Today our Finnish web was full of these photos, much more stunning and colourful, but decided I don’t care 🙂

Thanks! They were whiter just like white dancing smoke in my sky, but the colour changed by long exposure and image processing greenish!

So beautifully captured! It’s been so very long since I’ve last seen Northern Lights. I hope to again some day… in the meantime, I’ll just have to appreciate beautiful photos like yours 🙂

This is a most excellent and incredibly beautiful phenomenon, it is often seen in Finland? Here in Denmark, I have never seen it.
TykkääTykkää
Yes, it is magnificent! It isn’t ordinary to see it in the southern part of Finland, only in Lapland it’s normal.
TykkääTykkää
Amazing pictures, they look so magical! I think it would be magnificent to see these and just be caught in watching their movement. For a first time shooting them, they are excellent! 🙂

Thank you very much, Katie 🙂 It’s always fine to see them, it’s so rare.
