I wasn't really expecting to see the Northern Lights in where I'm staying right now because I live in the southern part of Norway. But I guess I am just born lucky. :) It was just one random night when we just got home and then I opened my laptop then I browsed my facebook and saw someone from Stavanger Aurora Chaser's group posted that northern lights is showing at that very moment. Stavanger is just 3 hours away from where I live so I was hoping that I can also see it in my place. Because I'm so excited about it I looked outside right away, at first I can't see it so I'm like disappointed. But it was the boyfriend who said he can see it. I was ecstatic like a kid, grabbed my camera and asked my boyfriend to find the tripod and then get dressed right away then went outside where we can take a nice photo of it because i'm dead. lol. I'm just obsessed with Northern lights, if you read my blog, I mentioned that the reason why I'm here in Norway is I wanted to see it. So now that I saw it I can now go back to the Philippines. Already ticked one of my bucket list.
So i therefore conclude that I don't need to travel to the northern part just to see the northern lights. you just need patient and watch out for the statuses on facebook. haha. I suggest that you join in a facebook group that is into chasing the northern lights. Make sure to follow the one that is close to where you live because there will be a big possibility that it is also visible at your place when they say that it is showing up at their location.
One more tip, go the place where is away to the city lights so you can see it clearly. I think the best spot will be by the beach just like where we went to.
Take a look at some of the photos I took. Excuse the quality of the photos because It's my first time to do this kind of photography. One huge mistake I did is not learning how to take northern lights photos. Lesson learned, be prepared for you don't know when the battle begins. haha.
