Here are some Aurora Borealis images taken from locations in Norway on Fred Watson's Fire in the Sky tour during late Jan/early Feb 2012. Camera was a Nikon D700 and I used a 14-24 f/2.8 lens, mostly at 14mm and f/2.8.
The first image was taken from a fjord near Alta in gale force winds. The next three were taken at Lyngen Lodge on Lygen Fjord in slightly more civilised weather and after some very nice food and wine. The last three were taken from a soccer field near Tromso. The aurora that night was fantastic. In retrospect we should have found a taxi driver and paid him a small fortune to drive us to the nearest dark/clear skies...

I have a couple of thousand aurora images, so my next project is to sort through them and build a best-of time lapse video.
Cheers,
Rick.
