A faint photographic aurora in the evening twilight on March 10, 2018 from the Norwegian coast on board the m/s Nordnorge while sailing north between Stamsted and Svolvaer in the Lofoten Islands. The Big Dipper is high in the north at centre with the handle pointing down to Arcturus.
A wisp of aurora appears in a break in the clouds as the m/s Nordlys enters Trollfjorden fjord in the Lofoten Islands in Norway, on November 8, 2017. It was actually raining when I took this shot but a major auroral storm was underway and we got a brief glimpse of a curtain as we entered this spectacular and narrow fjord. Then the rain clouds closed in. The bright lights are the ship’s searchlights lighting the walls of the narrow fjord. The white at top is the ship’s smoke. This was from the aft deck looking astern. This was with the 12mm Rokinon fish-eye lens at f/2.8 for 1.6 seconds with the Nikon D750 at ISO 6400.
A dim but photogenic aurora on November 7, 2017 from the Hurtigruten ship the m/s Nordlys sailing south along the coast of Norway toward Tromsø. In this image the aurora exhibits multiple curtains. The rising waning Moon off frame to the left lights the sky and landscape/seascape. Pegasus and Andromeda are at centre and upper left. This is a single 1-second exposure with the 14mm Sigma Art lens at f/1.8 and Nikon D750 at ISO 6400.
