If you wave a florescent tube under powerlines, the tube will light up. A bit of long exposure photography and you can create the illusion of your own Northern Lights. Images by Russian photographer NeverSmile.

Still haven't had time to edit the photos from a couple of nights ago, so instead here's a few more from the night before that. Feb 23 in Norway.

Some nights, the aurora doesn’t just glow. It takes over the entire northern sky.

On very active evenings, the boreal forest feels small. The trees become silhouettes under something vast and constantly moving.

That’s why I’ve always liked this image. It lives in my “Forest” gallery, where interior Alaska trees meet the big sky.

Available as fine art prints and digital downloads.

Green below. Red above.

During stronger geomagnetic activity, oxygen high in the atmosphere can produce faint red light above the more common green bands.

Aurora over the Goldstream Valley last month.

The first night we shot auroras around the cabins, and got to grips with our camera gear in the cold conditions. Everyone did well. The second night we went harder, and ventured into the forest on a quiet little trail.

Under the moonlight we captured the fresh snow and frost that blanketed everything in white. And then the nordlys arrived! We kept going for about 3 hours, and Shellie served up hot drinks to keep us warm.

It took me a while to put out this reel - number 2 in my "Why This Photo Works" series. But finally posted it.

I showcase how I use 4 composition techniques to make this scene vast and grand, but yet draw your eyes to the right places.

Would appreciate a like and a follow if this kind of tips help.

Aurora rumours at the NOAA suggest Feb 5 is scheduled for "possible glancing influences".

Snow day today. Mostly inside editing stuff from the last few days. Kind of glad to get a rest to be honest. Looks like a good chance of clear skies for auroras tomorrow night.

Here's a couple of moments out on the edge of a frozen lake a few days back, just as the sun was making its brief visit. Cool but warm.

Some of my favourite moments on camera with the nordlys are not with the fjords or the forests, but just shooting directly up to the sky above us and marvelling at the formations and elegance of these aurora bands.

And in this instance, the moon itself makes a cameo appearance.

I've started a new series — "Why This Photo Works" — of short feels over on Instagram where I break down my composition and editing choices into bite-sized nuggets.

Hope it inspires you with ideas to try out for your future shots.

The first pic is a photography I shot of the northern lights near Tromsø, Norway.
