Lazy way to shoot the northern lights

[murali]

I was in Iceland for 16 days in March 2016. Barely saw the northern lights until 2 days before we returned home. We were staying at a tiny modern one-story hotel outside the town of Hofn in Southern Iceland. All the rooms had floor-to ceiling glass window facing north. Weather report was favorable to see the lights. I setup my camera/tripod with a wireless remote just outside my room. I was in bed watching the action and triggering the shutter using the remote. No chasing for the lights. No standing in the cold patiently waiting for the lights. You watch while sipping hot chocolate in bed

Fantastic colors and can't beat the shooting while enjoying a cup of hot choclate.

Now that's the way to do it Murali!

Those are some awesome images. I have captured the Northern Lights a few times but have yet to see it where the light curves and twists like that.

Great job!
