Introduction
In this episode, I talk about what the northern lights are and what my experience with it was like.
Whats The Northern Lights
An aurora (plural: auroras or aurorae),[a] sometimes referred to as polar lights, northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in the high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic).
Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere) due to Earth's magnetic field, where their energy is lost.
The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emit light of varying colour and complexity. The form of the Aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles. Precipitating protons generally produce optical emissions as incident hydrogen atoms after gaining electrons from the atmosphere. Proton auroras are usually observed at lower latitudes.
My Experience With The Northern Lights
On my latest holiday on a Norwegian cruise with my family, we had an amazing experience of seeing the northern lights.
while on the ship we went to two lectures witch taught us what the lights are (read quotes.)
they also taught us what the recommended settings for a DSLR and Bridge cameras were
(ISO 800, Shutter speed 30sec and white balance sunshine)
I, on the other hand, did not use these settings, only because I did not like the movement of the stars because we were getting blurred circular motion
I used
(ISO 1600 - 8500, Shutter speed 2.5sec - 3.5sec and white balance Kelvin)

For me, I got some amazing pictures and I am very happy
