However, the conditions for capturing aurora is almost equally good during early fall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Taking northern light pictures last year was more comfortable than usual, because of higher temperatures. I remember taking pictures of the aurora in a t-shirt. There is nothing in the way of having a good time hunting the northern lights in September. You can have better experiences in the fall months since the daylight can be equally spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The problem is that it can get quite dark, for instance in the mountains, and that you get no light reflected from the missing snow. It can prove challenging to take pictures then. However, for the overall experience I find that the fall months are equally good, Tiller says.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1600 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/tromsolodgeandcamping.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tinden1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Northern lights\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/tromsolodgeandcamping.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tinden1-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/tromsolodgeandcamping.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tinden1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tromsolodgeandcamping.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tinden1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tromsolodgeandcamping.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tinden1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tromsolodgeandcamping.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tinden1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tromsolodgeandcamping.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tinden1-200x133.jpg 200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1920px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1920\/1280;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>This is how to take great northern lights pictures<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Tiller has taken several northern lights pictures that has gone viral on the internet, and is always on the lookout for new and interesting motives.<\/p>\n<p>-Now I am ready for a new season, although I might say I&#8217;m always prepared.

App&#8217;s can help you to predict the aurora activity, but it is difficult to predict a precise time when it is most active. You need to pay close attention. After that it\u2019s finding new locations to shoot \u2013 you need to try and get out of the light pollution from other light sources, Tiller explains.<\/p>\n<p>-To capture aurora you need a decent digital camera, a good lens and most importantly a tripod<\/p>\n<p>Many tourists leave disappointed because they were unable to capture the northern lights with their smartphone cameras.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Is it impossible to capture the aurora with your smartphone?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211;<\/em> You can use a phone to take northern lights pictures since the technology has come really far the last couple of years.
