Video of the Aurora Borealis in Real Time

[n2doc]

Most Aurora Borealis videos are time-lapses, because cranking the ISO high enough for bright real-time video would normally result in a noisy mess. That, however, was before cameras like the Sony A7s came along.

As you can see in the video above captured this last weekend in Tromsø, Norway by Vimeo user Anders M, the low-light champ’s impressive ISO capabilities allowed him to capture beautiful, usable, real-time footage of the northern lights dancing over Norway.

3. I saw one, once

Upstate New York. I understand the physics involved about as well as anyone, but it doesn't matter; they are evidence of God's existance.

Amazing video, thanks!
