I had previously seen the Northern Lights in Sweden in Winter 2004 on a trip dogsledding between log cabins before arriving at the Ice Hotel. That was a spectacular display; directly overhead and almost bright enough to read by! But I was mostly shooting Kodak Tri-X at the time so I didn’t take any photos. I might dig out some of the others from that trip and post them on here sometime. But on the most recent trip to Iceland, on the East coast, we were lucky enough to see them again

Mostly 4 second exposures, ƒ/2.8, ISO 4000 if I remember correctly. Settings tested at Aurora Reykjavik beforehand! Where we also learnt about Kp index and other useful facts. Readers of my other blog will see that this is ripe for modelling with a 1D RNN 🙂
