robson Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 I am spending some time in the Yukon, and am looking forward to photographing the northern lights. Has any one had any experience with this subject, and any tips?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efusco Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Are you justplanning WAY ahead? You realize they won't be visible for months. There are a ton of resources on photographing the Northern lights, it's kinda hard to screw it up and even harder to get anything particularly original. Basicly, choose your film, pick an apeture (I use f8), bracket exposures from 5 sec. to 1 min. See what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_daniel Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Geoff, don't be dissuaded, northern lights (auroras) happen all year long, especially this year. go to spaceweather.com and check out their photo gallery of auroras. most photos include how the photographer made the photo, and many of the photographers can be contacted. there is even a way to sign up to be emailed when the sun is acting up and auroras will be likely.
