I recently got back from a trip to Iceland and on two nights we had good skies for the aurora. At about 11 PM my son got me up and said the lights were out. So, with camera in hand I rushed out and got the following shots. Nothing was prepared for these. Shots were with a Canon 5DmkIII, 24-105 4.0L lens, f 4.0-4.7, shutter speed from 1-3 seconds (hand held), ISO 16000 - 102500. Not the greatest shouts but, I got them on the run. Hope you enjoy. First time I saw the aurora after many tries.

Considering that you hand held at 1-3 second exposures, I think you did a great job.
Very cool. Where in Iceland where you?
These pictures were taken in Husavik and Akureryi. The entire trip was 10 days putting 1900 miles on a rented can. We more than doubled what most tourists see.
I've seen a few in New Hampshire, nut never any as Beautiful as these. Great shots!!!
That is something I would love to see.
Thanks for looking. I appreciate your comment.
