Aurora Chasing in Norway | A Nightscape Journal

Join me as I return to the far north of #Norway to chase the beautiful spectacle of the Northern Lights.
We battle snow, rain, cloud, moonlight and more than a little despondency to capture nature's beautiful dance from amongst stunning, snow-capped mountains.

Epic adventure, and so true you can only have what Mother Nature wants to show you. That’s part of the excitement, never really knowing.

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! 100% - if it kicked off every time, somehow it would be less special. The thrill of the chase. (Although - for full transparency - I DEFINITELY would have preferred it to kick off!). Thanks for watching and the support. 👍

Beautiful photography Paul. That looked an amazing adventure and I so want to do something like that soon. The images from 2023 were wow, I can see why you went back there. This is still something I have never seen but its on the bucket list. Well done mate, clear skies

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching and commenting, Glenn. Appreciated. Very much hope you get a trip planned soon!

This is a magnificent video Paul. I loved the family shot in there as well. Really nice work mate.

Thank you Paul. What an amazing s beautiful area to visit and stay. I'm really pleased you managed to get some aurora activity to show your friends and some wonderful pillars. I understand your disappointment in the conditions you had. But hopefully it'll make your friends want to go back again to see the Aurora put on a show as it did for you on 2023. I must try the throwing stones at the cloud thing like you did, as it seemed to work for you to clear the skies 😉. Thank you again Paul.

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for your kind comments, Lee! I can’t endorse throwing stones, obviously, but it did make me feel better!

@matej.mlakar 6 месяцев назад

Stunning drone shots and timelapses! Of course astro images too, goes without a saying. What a landscape... Norway, sea, snow, mountains - that is just perfection in my eyes. BTW, new mic was a great investment. Thanks for this vlog, exactly what I need on this rainy Friday afternoon.

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Matej - yeah, I get the feeling the Norwegian landscape would be right in your sweet spot! Appreciate the comments - glad it enhanced your Friday afternoon!

@scottmcnally 6 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed the journey on this one. I could feel the battle with the clouds and moon. Also, that drone pano at the start was epic!

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Scott - appreciated. I’m not usually one for daytime photographs but playing with a drone in Norway was just such good fun!!

@billwright9518 6 месяцев назад

Fantastic video, it's a bucket list for me, my daughter has been to Norway and seen them, great memories for you and your family.

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching, Bill. Very much hope you get the opportunity to go and see them - life memories, for sure.

Awesome paul, i really need to get over there! Your video game is coming on strong now!

Great video Paul. Love the white mountain landscape which contrasts so beautifully with the green stuff (when it shows)! Nice to hear the crunch of the snow too. I was lucky to catch the Aurora closer to home recently but I would love to visit Norway for just the scenery (and maybe green ribbons would be nice too). 😀👍

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Geraint - appreciated. I saw your video, which was awesome to see! Wish we'd been clearer here for that event, but great to see so many images especially from the north and west!

@petesastrophotography 6 месяцев назад

Outstanding video Paul, loved every minute of it. I spent a lot of time in Norway during my time in the oil/gas industry so this brought back some fond memories. Seeing the aurora never gets old, we get some some lovely displays up here in Scotland (although not quite in the same league as northern Norway or Iceland!), last year was particularly good but it's been somewhat quiet in recent months.

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Pete - really appreciate that. Norway really is a beautiful place. I had high hopes for this trip with the amazing UK activity last year, but the universe had other ideas!!

@StarScaperPhoto 6 месяцев назад

Looks like an amazing trip Paul! So nice you took your whole family there to hopefully see the aurora. Although the landscape itself is stunning I totally felt you on that beach on night 4 😅. Great you got to capture them the last 2 nights. Especially liked that bright pillar on the last night. Also really well done on the amount of video and timelapses you've made. Visually stunning stuff. Not to forget the audio side... what a difference the new mic makes!

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for your ongoing support, Jeroen - it means a lot. I’ll definitely be back there! Yep, it’s nice to be heard and not have to fight so much wind noise 🤣🤣

@KopLamp 6 месяцев назад

Mesmerizing. Aurora are definitely on my bucket list... You might enjoy the video of @StarScaper too... he went to Senja

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks so much. Hope you get the opportunity to see them! Jeroen’s Senja video is awesome. So glad he captured them!

Nice adventure Paul and great video. It is perhaps one of the worst Northern Lights seasons, although we are off to the Solar Maximum. It all started out great.. September, October and November were good months and then it died until the beginning of March. Besides this... sooooo many clouds, which prohibits you from seeing the aurora. In comparison: In 2022 I was out 15 Nights in February and this year...4. The intensity of the aurora in 2022 was much better than 2024. Last year I already noticed a decline in the number of nights we could go out shooting the aurora. It is definitely a climate change impact! Although Full Moon illuminates the landscape I am not a big fan of the moon whilst the aurora is out. I prefer New Moon phases. The Aurora Season is coming to an end...soon we have the Midnight sun and we have to wait until September for the new aurora season. Let's hope for a great season!

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Henrik - sorry you've had such a tough season too. It does seem to have picked up again over the last few weeks. I agree the full moon isn't ideal at all, but in this case we could only go on one particular week so we had to take what we could! Would love to get back out under the aurora in dark skies again, though.

@GrowPhotography 6 месяцев назад

Love this Paul, really took us thru the anticipation, highs and lows of aurora chasing. The timelapses from the earlier trip at the end were just spectacular, loved the bokeh effect with the tree branches in the foreground. When were those taken? Wondering if they coincided with the big event we experienced here on 1/12/2023

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks, Greg - really appreciated. The timelapses at the end were shot in early April 2023, actually during fairly modest activity - in the polar regions it doesn’t take much activity to really kick off! Would love to have been there for the December event!

@MartinFransson 6 месяцев назад

This season has been terrible for aurora! I haven´t been out more than a handful of times since september... and even then it´s been kind of meh... But I´m glad you got some aurora in the end :)

@nightscapejournals 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Martin. Sorry you’ve had a rough season too. That said, it certainly kicked off last Sunday!
