Unbelievable, but true… Yesterday the 28. Feb’23 it happened, we had a beautiful evening with Nothern Lights – The ”Aurora Borealis” in Karlsborg.
For me I have been chasing the Aurora Borealis quite a while and yesterday it is the first time that weather conditions were perfect clear and the prognosis was very positive. For those of you who are interested when you can see the aurora there is an iPhone app to get prognosis reports, see the Aurora App.
And yes… your guess is right, it is not very often that we can see the Aurora in southern Sweden in this full beauty as it was yesterday evening.
I left my home at 19.30 and first there were only some green horizon, so I waited until 22.00, in the freezing cold, I could not feel my fingers anymore. And then suddenly it starts… It was like green dust falling from the sky. The “green” lights danced and stayed for 25 min and I took the pictures below. Seeing this is really an extraordinary experience, just wonderful.
I used a Sony A7 with a prime Samyang 14mm f=2.8. The prime is very good for night pictures. Most important is a tripod. Exposure time was 5 seconds at Iso 1600 and aperture 2.8. Pictures are taken in RAW and processed in Adobe to fully see this fantastic colors.
Definitly I will proceed to hunt the next Aurora with my camera.
Hallo Matthias,
das ist ja sensationell! Du hast wundervolle, einmalig schöne Aufnahmen von diesen bizarren Polar Lichtern fotografiert und für uns Betrachter verewigt.
Das Warten in der Kälte hat sich gelohnt. Ein derartiges Naturschauspiel sieht man nicht so oft im Leben. Du hattest großes Glück!
Ich bin tief beeindruckt von den starken Farben und den tanzenden Lichtern, die am Nachthimmel zu beobachten waren.
Vielen Dank für die schönen, einmaligen Bilder.
Liebe Grüße aus Hildesheim

Besten Dank, ja das war ein Erlebnis. Gruss Matze
Vilka fina bilder! Har aldrig sett norrsken i verkligheten men det är antagligen inte samma upplevelse som att titta på dina bilder
Mvh

Hej, det var helt fantastisk när norrsken kom fram, man fick vänta länge men det var verkligen värt det. Hälsningar Matsi
