How to Photograph the NORTHERN LIGHTS! Part 1: When and Where and How to Predict Aurora

[@Nateinthewild]

Have you ever seen the northern lights???

[@autpops]

I hope to see them someday!

Great video. We shot them last night in Laksvatn. 4 hour show from nature. Incredible experience

Easily the best video I've seen for aurora planning. I've never had the opportunity to head towards a pole for better views, so interesting to hear your comment on the usefulness of the KP index. I never head out for aurora under KP5 being at 36° S, but makes total sense that it is far less relevant the closer to the poles you get.

Great information - really appreciate the overview on the Aurora app! North Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota had some incredible displays last summer - not as intense as what you’re viewing, but absolutely stunning. Definitely take these tips into the next outing.

[@Nateinthewild]

Glad you appreciated! I've seen the aurora up in Washington and Montana as well, but it's definitely worth traveling farther north because they just get better the closer you go!

@@Nateinthewild Believe me, that’s a trip high on my list!

[@PatrycjaL-ox4nz]

Such a good and helpful information. I will visit Iceland soon and definitely use your all tips. Thanks a lot. Wish me green and red sky😂

Truly insane numbers!

I have a question regarding he gear, Do you still recommend the Sony 14mm f 1.8 over the new Sigma 14mm f1.4?

[@Nateinthewild]

I haven't tried the new Sigma, but the Sony lens is optically perfect, AND half the weight, so for me that's a no brainer.

I’m planning to go to Tromso for the first time. Appreciate if you can drop me those locations you shoot the aurora there?

[@claudettep212]

I’m surprised that clouds were not mentioned in this video.

How can I scout where the best place to go for a particular night will be? If I’m in one area, but a different area has really good conditions, how can I use the app to know where to go?
