Arctic & Aurora

Arctic landscape, Northern Lights, reindeer, huskies, skidoos frozen rivers and much much more.

February 2009. The journey commences in Tromso, our 'Gateway to the Arctic', continues via Finland culminating in our base camp, the raw landscape of Ravnastua, Karasjok. This was an epic journey, an adventure and fed us with a hostile beauty. Clear skies every evening resulted in the magical aurora dancing constantly through the freezing arctic skies. It was script written for adventure.

Enjoy the journey.

    The drive from Tromso to Karasjok took a mammoth 7 hours. It took us through Finland and sights like this were common. The frost and snow covered trees looked stunning. Olympus E510, 14-42mm
    My first star trail shot of the trip. I only managed 40 mins worth as the batteries gave up with the cold (-30C). A few technical changes after this attempt. The process - Using time lapse controller set at 15s intervals and 15s exposure time just run the camera. I added all the stills (high res JPEG) to Startrail.de software which outputs a single layered image, effecting the total time passage of the stars. The effect of earth rotating, visualised via the star trail. Olympus E3, 7-14mm
