Jack's first aurora

So last night I got my first ever sighting of the infamous northern lights! There was a lot of cloud cover so my sighting consisted of seeing some clouds get lit up slightly, but even so I was incredibly excited! It was around 11:00ish so the sun had set a few hours ago and we heard the news that it was about, so I and the other researchers gathered our things and walked to the lighthouse (in seriously cold, dark and windy weather). Unfortunately when we got there it had become impossible to see anything due to the clouds so we ended up playing with the torches on our phones mixed with long-exposure photographs, such fun we had!

I did get a few low-quality shots of the aurora though, I had to throw my camera's ISO up and the shutter speed way down so it's as grainy as corn flakes. But you still get some pretty colours!


Better than nothing! And hell, I've seen the northern lights! BAM!





And we had so much fun using the lights and camera in such funky ways!

Thanks for reading!!
