Book Description

If you want to see the northern lights, you need this book! Dave explains the stories of the Fire Fox, the midnight Dawn, and all the other folklore surrounding these mystical lights, then gives a full explanation of how they actually occur, before going on to explain how to get the best chances of finding them, and his experience of the techniques and nuances of shooting and post-processing them. Lady Aurora is high up on many a bucket-list, and there's a lot to be gained from being pre-armed with knowledge on the Northern Lights. There is a lot of information out there, but it's not contained in one place and it's heavily edited to suit a marketing purpose in most cases. Within these pages you'll learn everything you could possibly want to know about the Northern Lights as a traveller or as a photographer. The stories of the Aurora Polaris from all across the Arctic Circle come to life, and the scientific explanation of the light show is broken down and then applied to the methods we can use to find the Aurora for ourselves. Once we're there we'll learn exactly how to take photographs of the Aurora, and then how to process those images to make them look as good as they possibly can and really make our friends jealous. Seriously, it's all in this book, every little bit of it. This book is aimed at anyone who wants to see the Northern Lights in Iceland, Norway, Greenland, Alaska, Canada, Finland, Russia, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, or Svalbard, but the information within it applies to anyone with an interest in the Aurora, anywhere in the world, and it's just the right size to fit nicely into your camera bag or carry-on.
