A fantastic activity seen through a camera makes the experience many times better. This applies in particular to northern lights and images photographed under a star-lined sky. At clear weather, chances are good for both northern lights and very nice natural phenomena like the millions of stars you can see in the areas around Harads since the area is not disturbed by road or community lighting. When the moon is at its brightest, the pictures look like they are taken during the day. Except for all the stars we see and maybe even northern lights if we are lucky.

Your guide is the professional nature- and adventure photographer Håkan Hjort, who mainly has the taiga forest and the Arctic areas as his field of work. He gives you tips on basic photography such as composition, exposure, lens selection and angles for taking pictures of northern lights and other phenomenon. Yes, maybe he can even photograph you with the northern lights in the background.

We go to places where we have nice views to the north. The snow-covered forests, creeks and even the small forest roads fit well as the forefront of the night phenomenon, which takes place in the sky. With the help of the car, we move smoothly between different shooting places to access different motifs.

Cameras with wide-angle lens are what we usually use to capture the night's spectacle, of course with the camera on a tripod. You keep the memory card with all your photos from the photography.

With camera and both telephoto zoom and wide-angle zoom in standby, we are equipped for some beautiful hours of photography in the forest near the polar circle. The memory card is waiting to be filled with hundreds of pictures of animals, birds, nature and landscape.

Your guide is the professional nature and adventure photographer Håkan Hjort, who mainly has the Taiga forest and the Arctic areas as his field of work. He gives you tips on basic photography such as composition, exposure, as well as choice of lens to capture beautiful landscapes and wildlife.

We explore a beautiful forest. There we make an easier photo walk to a waterfall or a quiet scenic woodland creek. Great experiences and pictures of nature are promised. If we are lucky we can see golden eagles, moose, reindeer or beaver.
In the woods by the idyllic forest stream, the guide Håkan makes fire and tea. A large cup of tea with a good homemade muffin tastes great by the crackling fire.

The Canon DSLR camera has a mounted telephoto zoom so you can take good pictures of animals and nature. In addition, there are more lenses to choose from for those who want to try wide-angle zoom or to take macro images. 8GB microSD card is included so you can take at least 1000 images to bring back home.

The longer day trip of 5 hours also includes an outdoor lunch by a fire. We are able to immerse ourselves in the art of photography more and make a longer and more meaningful hike into the forest along a larger forest stream. There is also time to absorb the calm in the woods and just enjoy the peace and quietness.
