Every year I take small groups of like minded people up to the very north of Norway for a week of adventure. We stay in cabins up on the Arctic Finnmarksvidda. When the sky is clear we can usually see the Northern lights. During the day we explore the area by snow scooter and dog sled. This video is a selection of shots from this years trip. All shot with a Sony PXW-FX9 mostly with Sony lenses. At times the temperature got down to -34c. So I made extensive use of autofocus to avoid having to take off my mittens. The sun rise, sunset and Aurora shots were shot using the cameras built in Intervalometer (interval record). The Aurora wasn't very bright on this trip so I used a 32 frame slow shutter and 5000 ISO. The way the FX9 picks up stars is amazing for a video camera and a relatively short shutter. For more information on the FX9 see my blog at xdcam-user.com
