On the first night the Aurora put on a good show and I shot around 3,000 still frames on the NEX5’s to later turn into time-lapse clips.

FIRST NIGHT: -26ºC. The first night at the cabins was a chilly -26ºC. One of the issues with working with any camera in this kind of environment is condensation. If you are outside even for just a few minutes the camera will get cold. Bring that cold camera inside into the warmth of the cabins and condensation will form both on the outside as well as on the inside of the camera. This isn’t healthy for the camera and means you can’t shoot anything until the camera has warmed up and dried out. This can take hours, so the best thing is to just leave the camera outside. So that’s where the F5 was going to spend most of it’s time. If you do bring a camera inside, wrapping it in a sealed plastic bag will reduce the condensation build up, but you still need to wait for the camera to warm up before you can use it.
