Dragonflies

I took these dragonfly photos on the same trip and same place like the previous photos about small frogs.

Place:   Riekkola, Haparanda, Sweden
Photos: Dragonflies
Date:    7th of September, 2016

Camera: Canon EOS 60D
Lens: EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS

Editing: Sharpening, highlights down, cropping

I have posted before dragonfly photo also earlier, but that was different species.

Also these mating dragonflies are different species than last time.

Dragonflies are interesting object for taking photos, but season for dragonflies will be very soon over here in North Europe.

Northern Lights Season Has Started

Looks like Northern Lights season has already started here in Tornio, which is in south Lapland in Finland. There has been Northern Lights already many nights during last week. This photo I took from our condo balcony few nights ago.

Place: Tornio, Finland
Photo: Northern Lights season has started
Date: 3rd of September, 2016 at 01:25AM

Camera: Canon EOS 60D
Lens: EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Shot: 6 sec. f/3.5 15mm ISO1000

Editing: Sharpening, highlights down, little bit cropping.

This is just a beginning of the Northern Lights season. Best time to see Northern Lights is usually from January to March, when are cold and clear nights, so this was nice surprise to see the Northern Lights already now. Waiting for the more clear nights!
