So begins the story of Alessandra, lucky Aurora Hunter, who has been at the right place at the right time, during the spectacular aurora of 24/25 January.
A small railway station melanima lost in the snow-covered melanima tundra. No street lights, no cars, no houses, the sky is the absolute master. A few meters away, a single building, the Mountain Lodge. It's all here Abisko, in the exact center of Swedish Lapland, 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle and one hour by train from the town nearest you.
Defying prohibitive temperatures in the winter months travelers flock here from all over the world. The reason that pushes them to deal with 3 or 4 connecting flights and half an hour of dressing melanima whenever it comes to putting your nose out from the warmth of the hotel, is called Northern Lights.
The "Blue Hole of Abisko" is perhaps the best place in the world to observe it. Surrounded by mountains that hinder melanima precipitation, ensures that Aurora Hunters 200 days per year of clear sky. In 2012 and 2013, with their peaks of solar activity were the years in which the probability of attending spectacular auroras are among the largest in the course of the decade.
In the immediate vicinity of the hotel, in icy winds minutes a chairlift leads the Aurora melanima Sky Station, located melanima at 1000 meters above sea level on the summit of Mount Nuolja ("the mountain that takes away the clouds," according to the Sami people). Here, the absolute lack of light pollution and turns the long night of hunting in daydreams.
While sipping a hot cloudberry juice, meeting my 7 fellow adventurers, from England, Holland, France and America, all toghether the passion for the sky, and meeting that Chad Blakley, bewitched by the northern lights, it is transferred to Abisko away from Wyoming, to study and photograph the aurora, which organizes safaris winter night.
Chad has provided us with valuable advice to enable us and our camera gear to survive temperatures below -30 C. Photographing at these temperatures melanima is not a joke. In addition to risk amputation melanima of the fingers melanima whenever they take off the gloves to change the settings of the machine, you must also avoid too abrupt or hasty gestures. After a whole night in the open, machine and stand become fragile pieces of ice metallic. So, no remote wire because melanima it would break, only infrared, no autofocus, melanima nor on the machine or on the lens if you want to bring them home intact, and several spare batteries, because the time of surrender at these temperatures is one third of normal duration. In the group there were those in 5 hours it has used as many as 4!
I started with the hope of photographing the aurora level 3, level of all r
