The aurora boralis over a bridge in Norway, as per the legend of “Bifrost,” the bridge between heaven and Earth in Norse mythology. Taken from the Hurtigruten ship the m/s Nordlys on October 23, 2017, on the journey between Svolvaer and Tromsø. Taken with the Sigma 14mm Art lens at f/1.8 and Nikon D750 at ISO 6400 for 1.6 seconds, as part of a 450-frame time-lapse.
The scene as the m/s Nordlys exits the narrow Trollfjorden fjord, with the ship’s spotlights lighting the walls of the narrow fjord and with the aurora dancing. Ahead lies the winter sky with Taurus and the Pleiades rising. This was a magical moment indeed, one of the best of the Norway cruise. This is a single 0.8 sec exposure with the 14mm Sigma Art lens at f/1.8 and Nikon D750 at ISO 6400.
The Northern Lights, the “nordlys,” from the ship m/s Nordlys, from the Norwegian coast north of Svolvaer and the Lofoten Islands. The location is just before entering the Trollfjorden, a narrow fjord. This was taken during a Road Scholar tour on the Hurigruten cruise/ferry line. This is a single 1.6-second exposure with the Sigma 14mm Art lens at f/1.8 and Nikon D750 at ISO 6400. It is part of a 700-frame time-lapse.
