RE: Chasing Aurora

in Photography Lovers3 years ago

:D
It is held in a little town in easter Finland called Sonkajärvi - My ex is from the area :D

Night shots are okay, but these were hard and it was cold.... my fingers were unable to use the focus ring properly and there was no way to auto it, as it was just too dark to get anything close.

I guess it would be a decent idea to play around with it at times when I’m not trying to catch cool photos.

This is the trick... I am not tricky enough. It always ends up being a "when I must" kinda thing.

I’ve never gotten to see the aurora but it’s on the list of things to eventually see!

If you get the chance, take it. They are awesome!

though I think you gave them a little touch up with light room right?

Yes, very quickly on the phone. I might have a look at installing it on the new PC so that I can do some proper editing. On the phone, I only have access to the JPEG, but I store the RAW also.

Also a plus you didn’t get attacked by a lynx lol

My wife keeps saying she saw one... but I am dubious. There are deer that walk around the houses, so they have food at least.

Sort:  

One lame thing about Lightroom on the PC is that it's not free. I don't know if you have an iPhone or Android but at least on iPhone it's free to use the app. Computer it's not lol. Personally if I'm editing on the computer I prefer to use the free and open source GIMP software. It's a little daunting to get used to at first but it's not that bad once you find out how to balance colors and all that. I quite enjoy it now! Took me about 3 days of playing around with it for 30-45 minutes to figure it out and that's better than paying money I think.

When it's cold like that, it's not fun to be messing around that's for sure lol.

Sounds like you have an affinity for Finnish women :D
