DonSmith Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I just returned from the Lofoten Islands, Norway and we had an incredible night of Northern Lights. I used my Sony a7RV + 12-24mm GM. Great combination! I also use the Sony 14mm f/1.8. What camera/lens combination do you use?

brockgs Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 While I can't answer your question, I do have an additional question of my own for those with experience:Q: I suspect the intensity of the auroras on any given night will have a significant influence on settings, however what range of exposure time and ISO (exposure compensation?) would be an effective starting range to experiment within? I plan on trying a couple times in the next month before it stays too bright too long to be possible with my 1.2/50 and 1.2/24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good overall starting point would be ISO 1600 wide open aperture (if lens is sharp enough). The time again will differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
