Wild night of Northern Lights in Alaska in Real-TimeThe Aurora Chasers2018-04-29 | WARNING: This video contains the raw, uncut, unedited emotional sounds of witnessing the magical Northern Lights in Alaska in real-time footage. It was a fantastic night with lots of hollars and may not be suitable for those not able to handle magical moments in the real world. (Proper disclaimer so I don't get a load of comments about the audio or jerky camera movements. If you don't like it mute it.) Now that that's out of the way. ;-)
This was such an incredible night for me, for starters, this was the first time I had my 5yo son, out under the Northern Lights since he was 2. It would also be our dog, Angus's last night chasing Aurora with us. My stunning wife was wearing her beautiful red dress to model for me. And we bumped into and spent the night shooting with my hero, and the man who inspired me to take up Aurora photography, the legendary Aurora Hunter himself, Todd Salat. There's not much more magic that can come together all in one night! I'll never forget it.

I've had many requests for a simple video of the Northern Lights without camera movement, cuts or music. It's a hard thing to achieve as most wide angle lenses aren't fast enough for real-time Aurora footage and with a limited field of view, one must follow the ever changing action. But last Fall I did manage to spend an evening with an ultrawide lens and had good enough Aurora to pull it off. I left the camera locked with exception of one move about 2/3rds of the way in (you'll see why in the vid). This isn't fancy, but it gives you a real sense of what those dancing lights are like on a moderate night without any hoopla. Hope you enjoy.
