The Insta360 One RS 1-Inch 360 Edition (here) is a game-changer in the world of low light photography. With its advanced technology, this camera is capable of capturing stunning images even in the most challenging lighting conditions. It’s not new on the scene, but I wanted to test it in challenging conditions. In this blog post, I’ll explain how this camera helped me shoot the northern lights in 360. [Read More…]
How I took challenging Aurora photos on a steep “platform” cliff at -20 °C
On March 23, 2023, the Earth got hit by the strongest geomagnetic storm in six years, and I was out executing my unique aurora shot of the year, ‘The Platform’.
I am Virgil Reglioni, I’m 34 years old and I come from France. I have spent the last seven winters working as an expedition guide and photographer in polar regions. I am based in Tromsø, the gate to the high Arctic and capital of the Northern lights.
When I plan a photography project, I aim to find some “never seen before” aurora photographs. I want to capture the Northern Light in a way we never see it, to be able to enhance its uniqueness and spontaneity. I want my images to be completely unrepeatable even for myself.
Some of my photography work takes a huge amount of time and many attempts before capturing the right moment – sometimes spread over a few winters. This is why I want to share the stories behind the photos I take, and I wish to show how and why I captured The Platform, The 2023 unique Aurora shot.
Incredible aurora photo captured by astronaut in space
The Aurora Borealis has been particularly spectacular this week, with sightings seen as far south as at the Stone Henge monument in the UK. Not to be left out, astronauts on board the International Space Station also captured some stunning images from a different perspective.
Astronaut Josh Cassada recently shared an image of Earth enjoying the Northern lights from 250 miles above. He described the light show as “absolutely unreal”.
