Northern lights in Iceland - a rare moment

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Blue hour lights

In my first post I showed you the aurora borealis captured in the mid of a full moon night, typical conditions for shooting the northern lights. In very special and rare moments, when the aurora is really strong, it is possible to see it even if it is not completely dark. The scenery shown in the picture below was the first time in my life when I was able to capture the lights even during the blue hour.

For me it looks somehow unreal - what do you think?

What equipment do you use? Any fancy lenses?

I use a Sony A7R2 with various lenses. For night photography I prefer the non-fancy manual samyang 14mm f2.8 and 20mm f1.8.

I'm looking for some new 50 and 90 mm lenses, I think I have to look closer at the Samyang products...
