Tromsø - Norway

I want to see the northern lights and Tromsø, in Norway, is one of the best places in the world to see them. My friend Anne has been to the city last August, not the time of the year to see this phenomenon. Depending on the weather conditions and solar activity, the best time to see the lights is from September to April.

I want to see the lights and I want to take pictures of the lights. These are some tips to take some perfect Instagram pictures.
- Remember to check the weather forecast (you want clear skies) and the aurora forecast (so you know when she’ll be dancing);
- Get away from the city lights. If you stand too close to them, your photos won’t be that good. Find a good spot away from the city centre;
- Do not use a flash;
- Use manual focus:
- Download camera replacement apps. They give you more options to change camera settings, such as the shutter speed. Popular apps include Long Exposure 2, NightCap Camera, and Northern Lights Photo Taker;
- For stability, use a tripod and a timer to delay the shot;
- Bring a power bank. Batteries drain faster in cold weather. - in: https://www.visitnorway.com/
