I have seen the northern lights before I die and below is my time-lapse compilation. The video summarizes the dancing lights in the skies of many locations my friends and I visited the last month across Iceland (the holy land) chasing the Aurora (between the 19th and 26th of March 2015) .
1st time I saw the Auroras I was jumping like a kangaroo and screaming like a sa3idiyyah. Two hours later, (checked), I realized it's time to grab the cam and start shooting.
Bottom line, our trip was perfectly amazing, well equipped and prepared and we managed to archive and achieve good results. We missed the 17th of March (During that night, the Aurora reached the Maximum intensity while we were still stuck in Lebanon because of a stupid airplaine engine breakdown).
Sit back, relax, for a better experience put on your favorite headphones and watch the video with the highest quality.
This trip wouldn't have been successful without the planning of my fellow night shooters who accompanied me:
Karim Bou Karim (mastermind), Samer Hobeika (my shooting buddy), Tarek El Wazzi (compositor) and Assaad Mouawad (our technical encyclopedia and emergency driver. He lives in the cloud).
We are currently working on a full and final timelapse compilation that will combine all our timelapses we shot during the period of our presence there.
More information about our trip from a non-photographic perspective will be covered in a future post.
