Why Northern Lights Pics Pop

Quite often when photographing northern lights, the surrounding features matter more in the making of an awesome image.These five shots from Churchill this season all have different facets that accentuate the photo. Typically, the more unique features that bring aurora borealis into the three dimensional world we know, the more enticing the photograph. Northern lights on their own are beautiful though it’s hard to measure up to an image with traditional northern icons. See for yourself which of these sensational northern lights shots catch and hold your eye! Enjoy!

Churchill Photos of the Week

These scintillating northern lights photos taken by Natural Habitat Adventures guide Eddy Savage were the first two he took of the 2017 northern lights season. What a widespread display of aurora borealis highlighted by cloud cover. Great shots! Churchill was buried in a huge snowstorm yesterday so it might take a couple of days for clearer skies to reveal the magical northern lights again. Stay tuned for the next incredible images from the north.
