Behind The Lens

Location

This photo is taken just 100 meters from my house at the island Kvaløya in Northern Norway

Time

To shot northern light pictures it has to be dark so this is taken at night.

Lighting

This picture is not very good since it was one of my first pictures of the northern lights taken many years ago

Equipment

Canon 6D, Samyang 15mm wide-angle lens, tripod

Inspiration

Since I moved to Tromsø from southern Norway in 1993, I have been fascinated by the northern lights

Editing

Not this one. It's a bad picture actually

In my camera bag

Today I use Sony a7lll with Samyang 12mm fisheye, Samyang 18mm wide-angle lens and a 15 mm wide angle lens from Venus Laowa

Feedback

Use a wide-angle lens, tripod and that camera you own. This days you can also use a mobile phone
