Dancing with Aurora Borealis

I was left totally speechless when finally got the chance to see the dancing northern lights, Aurora Borealis, live in front of my eyes.

It was freezing cold night on October 14, 2017, 30 minutes driving from Reykjavik, Iceland, when Aurora started very delicately, with barely visible greenish or whitish glow. Soon it started to move across the sky, very quickly, swirled and danced. The beauty was simply beyond words!! I was amazed... speechless..

My biggest regret was that I forgot to bring tripod. If only I browsed enough information, I would have loved to bring one. I forgot that for such low speed setting on the camera, it should have a steady and firm stand for the camera to capture solid photo, not a blurry one. And one lesson to learn, it is nearly impossible to capture Aurora with your mobie phone (I tried with my iPhone 7, didn't work).

Big thanks to Time Tours Iceland for making this possible, for making us like storm chasers, moving from one spot to another to catch the Aurora. It was really super fun! I was lucky that we managed to catch it at two out of three spots that we visited. 

Luck is one of the things we need to see Aurora, other than the clear sky on the right spot. Don't forget to wear very warm outfit and good camera (I used Canon D3100) with tripod. 

For now, I'm content that one dream is fulfiled. Let's run to another on my list. :-)
