This was my very first extended timelapse of the Aurora Borealis and dates from 2013, when the affordable real time capable cameras like the Sony 7s did not exist yet. It is possible nowadays to make Aurora videos of incredibly better quality than this one, but I keep it nevertheless on this channel to show the amazing displays that lit the Lapland sky throughout February 2013.
During the 2 weeks that I spent in the high Arctic regions of Northern Lapland and Finnmark, I was blessed by daily displays of the Northern Lights. Here is a timelapse video of the mighty Aurora Borealis. All the photos were taken in the Inari region in Finland (Inari, Utsjoki, Angeli, Nellim, Karigasniemi) and along the Norwegian coast (Kirkenes, Lakselv, Alta).
I travelled about 4500km during this trip, literally chasing the auroras trying to find clear skies to enjoy the show. The temperatures ranged from a mild -2°C along the Norwegian coast, to a freezing -35°C for the coldest nights in Finland. Nonetheless the equipment kept on working, simply using more extra batteries than usually.
I used a Canon EOS-1D X with the 14mm f/2.8L II USM lens for all the pictures.
