If you want to capture the aurora in more definition, with the fine detailed tendrils, then you might want to use a lower shutter speed, and a higher ISO to compensate for exposure. To get around that I put my camera in the 2 second self-timer mode so it gives the camera and tripod 2 seconds to settle. Use Intervalometer mode to continuously take photos I set my camera to take shots every 10 seconds to capture the Aurora when it was at its most active. It’s a completely different kind of challenge with the camera and I feel like as I progress with photography I’d like to come back to the Lofoten Islands again and again.

It had been 7 days since we drove past the sign that said ‘The Arctic Circle’ but we still hadn’t seen any sign of the Aurora Borealis. No one wants to leave Norway until they’ve seen the Northern Lights

And I’ll show you a good place to watch them in the Lofoten Islands – as well as where to park your van, of course. The beach is Haukland Beach on the north side of the islands: Google map link After this night we spent the next week chasing the Northern Lights around the Lofoten Islands.
