Shooting skills of northern lights

The shooting skills of the Northern Lights are as follows:

1, choose a suitable shooting location: The Northern Lights mainly appear in the Arctic, so it is very important to choose a suitable shooting location. Generally speaking, the observation site of the Northern Lights should be far away from the light pollution in the city to avoid the influence of light pollution on the Northern Lights.

2, choose the right shooting time: The appearance time of the Northern Lights is not fixed, so you need to choose a suitable time to shoot. Generally speaking, the Northern Lights will appear at night or in the early morning, so you can choose to shoot at this time.

3. Appropriate exposure time: Because the Northern Lights are dynamic, choose an appropriate exposure time. Generally speaking, the exposure time depends on the brightness and moving speed of the Northern Lights. If the northern lights are brighter and move faster, the exposure time can be slightly shorter; If the northern lights are dark and moving slowly, the exposure time can be slightly longer.

4. Appropriate ISO and aperture: When shooting the Northern Lights, you need to choose the appropriate ISO and aperture. Generally speaking, ISO should be set at a low value to avoid noise. The aperture should be set at a large value to obtain sufficient depth of field and clarity.

5. Use tripod and remote control: Because the Northern Lights are dynamic, you need to use tripod and remote control to stabilize the camera. This can avoid blurring and defocusing caused by hand shaking.

6. Post-processing: After shooting, you can post-process the photos, such as adjusting the parameters such as color, contrast and brightness, so as to obtain better visual effects. In short, shooting the Northern Lights requires some skills and experience, as well as patience and perseverance. Only by constantly trying and practicing can we take satisfactory photos.

When the Northern Lights appeared:

The northern lights generally appear in the polar regions from June 10 to April of the following year, especially in the polar night every year. Extreme night is the phenomenon that the earth is located at the southernmost tip of the sun, and there is no sunlight in the Arctic Circle, which leads to the continuous night. During this period, colorful northern lights will appear in the polar sky.

Specifically, the Northern Lights usually appear between 10 at night and 2 am, which is due to the frequent solar activities during this time, and the gas molecules in the atmosphere are affected by solar radiation, resulting in the discharge phenomenon, thus forming the Northern Lights.

It should be noted that the appearance of the Northern Lights is influenced by many factors, such as solar activity, atmospheric conditions and geographical location. So the specific time and place may be different.
