When you are under them, they have a morphing 3D quality that is hard to capture. Sometimes, they look far away and sometimes close. Haven't seen them in thirty years!

@@ccrider3435 I definitely need to experience that.

@@ccrider3435 And don’t forget to do a gentle dance when you see the aurora 🕺💃

So Beautiful,lwould love t see the but l am not well these Days.l so wish l could see them,Frances from Scotlandxx.

Yes, I heard that it was in the news at the start of November.

I’m going there in a couple of weeks and hope to see this

It's taken with a Sony A7S3

This was taken with a Sony A7S3 in aperture priority mode with min shutter 1/25th and max ISO 80,000. The lens was a 20mm F1.8.

It's a Sony A7S3 with a Sony 20mm F1.8 lens. Settings are aperture priority with min shutter 1/25 and max ISO 80,000. I don't use full manual because the lights can vary in brightness a lot but most of the time the ISO is at max. I could do with a gimbal.

@@lesblain ISO 80000, wow thats remarkable. My camera is not capable of that.

Amazing night it was 🥰 I was at Kvaloya 😃👏

This was Nov 22nd to 28th. The date doesn't really matter - you need clear dark skies and a bit of luck. Spaceweather.com might also help.

Yes, you need a high ISO when the lights are dim. Because they vary in brightness alot I set the camera to aperture priority, min shutter 1/25th and max ISO 80000 with an F1.8 lens. You can use a slower shutter to increase the exposure but that gives jerky video. If the metering isn't right you might have to use full manual exposure.

I wasnt there but i have seen northern light multiple times since i live in the north. It really makes ur adreline go up you start smiling so much bc it literally just feels INCREDIBLE truly magical every time

@@minnaorv I wish I could experience one like that. I live in Salt Lake City, UT. Once we had a red aurora (all the way down to Mexico), but it wasn't as brilliant as this. That same year/time/within days we had MILLIONS (on my street - thousands) of Monarch butterflies! There must have been such a strong magnetic interference from a solar flare that they changed their migration route. I'll never forget that time. I think it was in the early 90's. I'm not sure though. I was a child. Thanks for sharing your experience!

There is definitely a ghostly feeling when they start to move and bands of light race through them. I’m always amazed at just how big they are.

@@lesblain I can imagine! I could almost feel it just watching the video! That was seriously the most amazing one I've ever seen I think! No kidding! I saved the video in my "Science" and "Scary Ass Shit" playlists.. I hope you don't mind!

I saw them for the first time last month in Norway. I'm 50 years old and have always wanted to see them. I cried they were so amazing. Pictures and even video can't compare to actually being there.

It depends on how bright the aurora is but in general you need a camera with good high iso performance and a fast lens. This was taken with a Sony A7S3 and a 20mm F1.8 lens.

It’s a Sony A7S3

It was the last week of November. I try to go when there isn’t much moonlight

@@lesblain I am planning Thanksgiving week also in Nov which happens to be last week of Nov

It was shot with a Sony A7S3 and 20mm lens

It's best to go somewhere dark away from city lights but if the aurora is strong you can see them in Tromso. The last bit of the video was taken next to the Scandic Ishavshotel.

There isn't any moonlight then so that is good but the thing you can't predict is the weather. You need clear skies.

@@lesblain which month and date you went to Tromso

@@nafeesalam3291 Last year was Nov 24th. Any time between October and March is ok.

@@lesblain okay

This is radiation poisoning from the sun. That is going through us now. Evolution time. ❤

To contigo nesse irmão, temos que assistir a essa maravilha de Deus

Now is the time.

It’s Norway in northern Europe

@@lesblain thank you
