Obviously my aurora hunting will not end in Nellim, Finland. Since we're at Inari which is almost as far north as Nellim, we will of course attempt to catch the auroras one last time.
Why the craze over auroras? Well first of all, it's definitely not possible to see auroras in Singapore. Too much clouds and too much light pollution. So while you're there, you better catch as much "air time" with the aurora. :)
Hotel Kultahovi is not as an ideal place as Nellim to view auroras because lights can still be seen from the streets and there are buildings that are lighted all night long. However, I'm lucky that the auroras that appeared were quite strong and it was visible despite of the street lights and the full moon.
The auroras are slightly different than the ones at Nellim. They are very beautiful and as you can see, the auroras are quite strong. I've used RAW this time compared the ones at Nellim as the pictures will show up better, especially in low light. Just imagine, the first picture was taken right outside my hotel room. :) Enjoy.

Actually, we totally cannot see auroras here coz we're too far from the geomagnetic anomaly of the Earth.. So even if we have clear skies and no light pollution, chances are we won't be able to see it 99.99999% of the time.
may i ask which camera did you use to shoot the norther lights ?
You can check out this link. I used the same camera throughout the entire trip.

I believe you can click on the photo details in Flickr. It will show my camera make, model, the lens I'm using and the settings.
