Thanks for the replies. I'm now taking 2 trips. One by what I think is a ship but also a land one as well. Makes it easier i suppose if I want to get some good shots.

Thanks for the advise lads. The reason for me not being able to use a tripod is that im seeing them from a boat so even though i could possibly bring one i probably wouldnt be able to keep it steady.

Hi

 

I am going to see the northern lights in march (if they show up) and am looking to discover the best settings to get a good photo bearing in mind it will be dark and i wont be able to use a tripod. I am using a nikon d3200.

<p>Ah yes, I can take continuous photos provided i dont use the built in flash. <br>

Thanks</p>

<p>I bought a Nikon D3000 yesterday. I am pretty much a beginner at photography so am going through everything on it. One thing i find is that the continuous mode in the 'Guide' setting doesnt seem to work. Same is the 2s setting. The 10 second one works fine. Is there something I am doing wrong?<br>

Thanks</p>
