Project Aurora Borealis - My Real Northern Lights Chase Tour Experiences in Tromso Norway

In March 2017, I visited Tromso Norway for 5 nights with the only intention of chasing the Aurora Borealis Northern Lights. I joined two Northern Light chase tours and I was lucky to see magnificent light shows in the sky during both tours. I am writing this article to share my experiences of the actual Northern Lights chase tour experiences.

Project Aurora Borealis - Cameras and Accessories for Northern Lights Photography in Tromso Norway

AURORA BOREALIS PHOTOGRAPHY
Taking pictures of the Aurora Borealis is a difficult task. Aside from the knowledge of film speed ISO, shutter speed and aperture, Northern Light photography requires more advanced cameras and sometimes more expensive lens to achieve. Many of the green looking Aurora Borealis on the internet were accentuated with post production app or computer software, which might not match up to the expectations of the naked eyes of new Aurora Borealis hunters. If you are a novice in photography or you have only smart phones or basic point and shoot cameras, I recommend just using your eyes for the magnificent experiences or joining  Aurora Borealis light chase tours that offer optional or complimentary professional grade photography services. I am dedicating this blog article to discuss about practical knowledge on Aurora Borealis photography if you are very interested in taking magical Northern Light images while traveling in the Arctics.

I am writing this article to share important tips and recommendations on what to wear and what to bring in order to make your Aurora Borealis light chase experiences more comfortable, safe and efficient.
