Landscape image of a planet

7.3.2017 at 19.45 - Kuusamo, Juuma
Vesa-Matti Kleemola

On a fat bike tour on the Oulanka wilderness route. The dark meant to surprise and the lights were at home for sure, but luckily the moonlight illuminated enough to see the shave out of the woods.

Again, just a cell phone included and a handheld with a short shutter speed. What is the probability that the fireball will still hit the northern lights? The sky was so full of fire that he didn't know where to look.

The gauge was red, but the northern lights looked rather modest. The whole sky was covered in green gauze, intermittent flickering, but a pretty lazy show. Mostly here I cry these seven wind turbines built in Posio. Their lights are absolutely insanely bright, the viewing landscapes of last winter had changed a bit :( A park of 71 power plants is planned for the landscapes of the second picture in the Maaninga area of Kuusamo.

Whatever the handsome opening of the season, perhaps the finest coronation show I’ve seen. Fortunately, there was a cell phone included that you believe.

It was colorful at first, a lot of red as the intensifiers turned more green. There were also a lot of gemini on the move, but the pictures dodged, except that now I was hiding from that second picture as little as Viiru :)

I photographed the stars when I noticed really bright northern lights behind me. I just got up to take one rap before fading. Then the battery waned and the guy froze.

Testing a new used camera. Yes, there is a bit of advanced technology ahead of the 400D: P One still stays, the fires went out when I got the camera on fire.

The belt moved really fast and suddenly it was over. With the naked eye, more red could be seen at the bottom than the image was captured (I don’t know if there’s a fault in the camera or am I just part of it?).

Coming from the sauna, I noticed that the starry sky was visible for a long time. And the moon and Zetor + You come. Hopefully it will start to flare up properly.

Moonlight brightened the landscape. I reportedly missed the most active phase, but I still got a picture of the cat.

Sometimes it turned out to be spectacular for a few moments, even the crown could be admired. Mostly just a quiet belt. And it's cold.

I went on the ice to see if I could go skiing or ice skating tomorrow, the northern lights lit up in the same seam.

Awesome blaze that faded after a while.

The bright northern lights froze into an arc, but so did the observer. There was also a line in the image.

Bright northern lights, even the cat came along to marvel. I tested the ISO values, the dimmer northern lights became the most spectacular images when you increased the ISO, but the image quality suffers with a poor camera. In the last picture, a fireball happened, which still shows a long smoke trail. The camera settings go, so I can't do any post-processing. Hopefully the show will continue when you get the battery charged and your long pants on.

Return to everyday life, dim northern lights in the middle of light pollution with a Wanhalla digital camera. The camera adds its own "stars" with greater sensitivity.

Annoyingly, the moonlight dimmed the moods and then the clouds came and took the rest of the lights. And as a clever graph, the Zooms were also full. Well, the finer ones were there in the field roofed than in the pictures.

Testing with a new lens and right from the first one even happened to starburst or why do you professionals say them. Even if there was such a camera that you could see something in the viewfinder, then this picture could have been straight. Battery charge pause and then back to the field.

Again, the whole sky was full of light, though pretty quickly the best warps were over and the green sky remained. I added one more picture because I noticed that it shows a dim starry flight.
