This is roughly 600 images.
A friend of mine is working on a huge time-lapse. Containing roughly 40.000 images collected during this aurora season. He is getting the music composed at the moment. If he uses some famous musician he have to pay the record company 2.7 cents per hit. And his time-lapse will easily do 10 millions hits!
I have seen some split seconds of it and it will be a monster hit. It will be released in less than 2 weeks time. So keep an eye open :)

That's really impressive how fluid and dynamic the whole thing is - I had no idea. Thanks for sharing. :)

Awesome Helge. I see you metioned how many frames, but I'm curious over what sort of time period it was. Never having seen an aurora, I don't have a feel for how much and how quickly they move.

Some of the slow moving ones last for up to 5 minutes while the really fast can be over in 1 minute or so

I have a friend heading up to Yellowknife to shoot the Aurora in April...

A couple of q's

1) what frequency did you shoot these frames at?
2) what exposure settings work best for Auroras?

Thanks!

That is almost an impossible question to answer!
I shoot continues mode so when one exp is done it's right on to a new one. Think most of these where at 2s or faster. I varied between the 24mm and the Samyang 14mm f/2.8

What camera and lens is he going to be using?

On my 5DmkII with the 24mm f/1.4@1.4 I have been successful down to 0.3s, it depends on how dark it is. And ISO from 1250 and up to 4000
But on iso4000 I go down to sRAW1 (9.9M)
If you have the full moon behind you it can be really fast, down to 0.3s at iso 1600.
So there is only one solution, trial and errors, sorry
But since I have done this so many years I am able to get it correct in 1 or 2 tries

Thank you for the information. I don't know what he's got, other than the fact that the camera manufacturer starts with and ends with an "N" :rolleyes: I'll pass the shutter info on to him though.

Cheers!

Oops, those cameras have a total different setting!
Normal setting should be ISO12800 and exposure set at least 30s
If nothing appears increase the exposure :)
