Iceland Auroras 042013 0003 20s ISO 1600 f4.5
Here are my aurora photos, such as they are. I did not take a tripod, because I told myself I did not want to get caught up in taking astronomy photos, did not want to carry it, and only wanted to "experience" them. That lasted till the 4 night out when we finally saw an aurora. I decided to try my hand (literally) when we first saw the aurora out behind a closed gas station. There was a plastic wrapped hay bail and it was hard as a rock and about 3 feet tall and had a curved shape--rounded corners on a solid rectangular shape. So I kneeled against it and supported my camera on the hard curved surface holding it by hand as steady as I could. At ISO 1600, 20 seconds exposure at f/4.5 these are what I got. Notice the slight movement of the camera as the stars are badly streaked/trailed. Nevertheless, I did get some aurora.

Iceland Auroras 042013 0004 8s ISO 1600 f4.5
ISO 1600, f/4.5 and 8 sec. The red bottom is the reflection off the white (green) plastic. I would slide my camera up the curve of the corner till I got the aurora just over the horizon.

Iceland Auroras 042013 0008 8s ISO 1600 f4.5
ISO 1600, f/4.5 and 8 sec. This is probably my most "steady" picture. Note small amount of star smearing.

Iceland Auroras 042013 0013 8s ISO 1600 f4.5
Took this just in case there was some aurora. I was surprised at how quickly the aurora comes and goes, an it usually lasted only a few seconds or a minute or two, maybe 5. So there was a lot of standing in the cold wind waiting and hoping--we only saw it the last 2 out of 5 nights out from 10-1 am, and it only got dark after 10:30. There was a trade off between length of day (short night, getting dark late) and cold weather. April was supposed to be the best compromise at not too late and not too cold. Wrong.

This was another site the 5th night--all the previous ones were the 4th night on the hay bale. Since there was no hay bale or post or fence, I tyried to hold the camera against the vertical front corner of the bus which was rounded front to back so I had some "adjustment" side to side.
