The northern lights were on guard, and suddenly my spouse looked up at the sky. The light phenomenon had a spherical head that was clear and under it was a gauze veil. The phenomenon progressed with the veil above slowly. The pictures are thus initially taken from the camera screen with a mobile phone and the pictures are added when I get home.

In the middle of the sauna heating I had to start describing repos. I headed to the new Keihäsjärvi bird tower, where I took a few pictures. On the way I had to stop at the bottom of Lake Pitkäjärvi, where I thought I would photograph a few squares ... I think there was a SAR arc in the picture that has more than one picture when I go through the pictures. Of course, I liked the Milky Way pictures when it looks handsome.

After all, it had to go to the forest pond at the cottage to describe repos. First one photo from the yard and then by car to the forest pond. The image also recorded a possible fireball that appears at the top left of the second image.

For a long time, the cottage kept a few pictures of the Milky Way. I was hoping for repos, but the clouds swept over.

I had to jump on the beach again. The very dim tuhnu just stood out with the naked eye. Shoots tickled with the camera setting + Lightroom

After all, it had to go bongo repos when there were so many promises about repos. Vaab nitenkäs went? The arc appeared in the sky, and activated a little, returning to a dim arc. Images have been excavated with the camera and adjusted with Lightroom.

Bright night shining clouds

As I photographed Repos, night sky clouds crawled into the sky to my delight. Rural tourism seems to be worthwhile. In one picture, the northern lights pillar is also recorded dimmed.

Then came a long time to go on a "night flight", and did not waste the trip. While driving in the countryside, I suddenly noticed reposet in the sky. Car in the parking lot, right at the first edge of the field and with a camera set. Northern lights activated to dance in the sky, sometimes turning into fog.

I drove from Kuopio to Siilionjärvi, and thought to describe the Milky Way. I pre-tuned the camera, so the reposet started to mess up the plan. Nice to see when I got to watch repos after a long cloud period.

Petteri Nupponen

We went with my friend to Savikoski in Karttula to describe the rapids during the full moon. It had been talked for a year that it would be great to sometimes describe repos in this landscape. In the moonlight, pictures were taken from time to time, staring at the sky .... "no oo repos" .... As I ascended downstream towards the old mill, I glanced at the sky .... "Kato perk .. there are dim repos." The two thunderstorms surprisingly gained more momentum upstream. The repos took a moment to be active, before dimming forever .... But the goal had been met.

Had to drive to the Siilinjärvi side next to Rissala Airport. Impossible ice fog prevailed in Kuopio due to snow cannons at the Kasurila ski resort. The cannon produced by the cannons spread with the air flow to Kuopio, where the whole city was covered in impossible fog.

Three months passed from the last observation. Finally, Cloudiness disappeared in Kuopio and real action was taken. At first I thought I would definitely go to the beach, but no soul gave up and good so. As soon as I arrived, I noticed a brighter gauze in the sky. Stuff pile and beach. Immediately a great performance in the sky began and the shade of red stood out very well with the naked eye. These were the second red repos in three years. In that throbbing I waved with the camera looking for a good place to shoot and then I only realized .... I was only standing on the ice of a frozen lake y...

Bongling the constellation, which was very visible. I was amazed at the number of satellites in the sky when I looked at the pictures. Especially the trio on the right in the picture caught my attention. These rogues came straight towards the lake. What could be the case?

The season got open for thunderstorms. One flash came to greet us unnecessarily close to the car, so pretty quickly my feet flashed into the car.

I went to see if there were any repos, but I guess the season is already over due to the light. A star flight flies at the top of the picture and a really dim green color appears on the horizon.

Dilute was reposet despite high expectations. Even the new photographer came to be taught the secrets of night photography.
