The sky is watching


The last picture from that night. All the Northern Lights were gone but I took one more, just checking for how long I could keep the finger on the shutter. I lasted 122 seconds, it was really cold, more than -10 degrees ;o)

Takk fyrir það Ragga. Ég var löngu hættur að finna fyrir fingrinum og rann rólega út af takkanum, bara ánægður með að ég virðist ekki hafa hrist vélina neitt á meðan :o)

wow, Oddur, that exposure is just so 'right on' ;-)
It's great how you even got the stars as tiny dots up there.

And it works very well in black & white, too...

Takk Begga. Ég á örugglega eftir að taka þó nokkrar myndir á löngum tíma þegar ég verð kominn með snúru og get setið inn í bíl á meðan ég tek myndirnar :o)

-10 and you managed to hold down the shutter for 2-minutes!! Either you have a very strong tripod - or a gentle grip!!! I would have started to shake, I am sure! Nice work - and and excellent subject. That place looks very sinister in the half-light.

Thank you AS. I have a very strong tripod... and a gentle grip ;o) I was wearing almost every warm garment I had so I wasn't shaking, but my finger was almost frozen :D

such a very good image,
almost worth getting
a frostbitten finger for.

I hope you used your index finger ?
I would hate to think of anyone having to go through life
without being able to wave their rude finger
at the world when it was required
:)

Oddur Jonsson pro replies:
Thank you k2hsharpe. Yes, my finger is ok. It was my index finger and i just used it right afterwards to pick my nose, that way it got all warm and soft again ;o)

A cold camera prevents hotpixels. A cold weather prevents hot camera :)
