How I shoot the Northern Lights
I was in Iceland last week running some workshops and master classes. While there I threw together this little video about how I set up the camera to shoot the Northern Lights. Sadly the weather was pretty wild with almost a foot of snow on the first day and winds reaching over 60mph. If you watch the video make sure you stay to the end for a glimpse of me trying to do a piece to camera in a 60 mph blizzard!

Spring is just around the corner and that means Tornado season.

0db gain when using the 64 frame shutter, which is my normal method, sometimes I use 3db or 6db with the 16 frame shutter when the Aurora is bright.
