The Northern Lights of Yellowknife
My 3-minute music video, in 4K, features real-time videos of the Northern Lights, shot from locations in and around Yellowknife in Canada’s Northwest Territories in September 2019.
In this video there is no time-lapse and none of the sequences are sped up. The motion is as the eye saw it, though the camera, even in short exposures, picks up the colours better than the eye. Nevertheless, this provides a good approximation of what the eye sees during a good display of aurora.
The video also includes several still-image panoramas, in pan-and-scan “Ken Burns” moves.
I shot all the sequences from September 6 to 10, 2019, from sites within urban Yellowknife and from dark-sky locations along the Ingraham Trail that are favourite spots for aurora viewing and photography.
The music is the composition “Icefields” by the composer Steven Gutheinz. It is used by kind permission of West One Music. See stevengutheinz.com/music.htm
Special thanks to Stephen Bedingfield for the guiding and bear protection!

TECHNICAL:
I shot the real-time video clips with a Sony a7III camera and the Venus Optics 15mm lens at f/2 and (at the end) with the Sigma 8mm f/3.5 fish-eye lens, using the camera’s 4K movie mode at 24 frames per second for full-frame 4K. I used a dragged shutter speed of 1/8 to 1/15 second at ISO 12,800 to 51,200.
I processed all the movie clips through Adobe Photoshop for colour grading and noise reduction using the Camera Raw filter plus adjustment layers.

Yellowknife | Canada , capital of the Northwest Territories
Yellowknife is a city in the Northwest Territories, Canada.
Understand[edit]
Yellowknife is the capital of the Northwest Territories. It is on the North Arm of Great Slave Lake, on Yellowknife Bay. Yellowknife was originally founded as a gold-mining town. Today, most of Yellowknife is quite compact, and the main areas of interest can be easily reached on foot. New Town is the current downtown core. It is bordered by 47th Street to the north, 53rd Street to the south, 52nd Avenue to the east, and Veteran's Memorial Way (49th Avenue) to the west. Franklin Avenue (50th Avenue) is the main thoroughfare. The corner of Franklin Avenue and 50th Street is considered to be the city's centre.
Old town, where the original city of Yellowknife was founded, is located at the base of the hill on Franklin Avenue, on a peninsula that juts into Yellowknife Bay, and on Latham Island. This area is primarily residential, but remains home to some of Yellowknife's oldest businesses.
See[edit][add listing]
Take a tour from one of the many tour companies around Yellowknife, such as Yellowknife Outdoor Adventures or Beck's Kennels. They offer many programs. These include dog sledding, aurora viewing, shoreline breakfast/lunch, wildlife viewing, fishing trips, etc.
Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) This is the one thing that you must see. There are many tour companies that offer different ways of seeing the Aurora Borealis, such as snowmobile, sled dog expedition, photography workshops and tractor rides to various lodges.
Do[edit][add listing]
Yellowknife is an outdoor enthusiast's dream. There are several scenic walking and hiking trails within the city boundaries. The Ingraham Trail (Highway 4) connects Yellowknife to many lakes, rivers, and hiking routes that draw campers, hikers, paddlers, fishers, and hunters.
The winter months are dominated by winter sports: hockey, curling, skating, cross-country skthe gold mines have closed, and the city has reinvented itself as Canada's Diamond Capital. The city is the administrative centre for the Northwest Territories, and in spite of its mining heritage, the public service dominates the workforce. Despite its low population of around 20,000, the city has a bustling downtown with quite a few highrises and a distinct skyline.
Aurora Borealis Video - Yellowknife, Canada
The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) above Grace Lake, Yellowknife, NWT Canada. At about 8pm the evening of March 10th 2008, scattered wisps of green light started appearing all over the sky, which was a great sign! We packed out stuff as quickly as we could, and headed out on Snowmobiles to the beautiful Grace Lake. On arrival the lights we're already dancing around and putting on a great show for us! For over 2 hours she carried on dancing, until the clouds came in and then as if of her own accord she calmed down and went quietly into the night =)
This is actual video footage, not a sequence of images. Captured on a Canon XH A1.
Because the display was well over 2 hours I've sped up the video to get most of it in. I am currently working on an edited version, at real speed, with music, video effects etc to really do it justice! Sorry for all the movement I was super excited!
Please visit my site for photos and article on the Northern Lights =)

More information about the video content bellow:
1. If the Yukon is the far north at its most accessible, the Northwest Territories is the region at its most uncompromising. Just three roads nibble at the edges of this almost unimaginably vast area, which, together with Nunavut, occupies a third of Canada’s landmass. The Northwest Territories is about the size of India but contains only 44,000 people, almost half of whom live in or around Yellowknife.
2. The present-day territory came under government authority in July 1870, after the Hudson's Bay Company transferred Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory to the British Crown, which subsequently transferred them to the Dominion of Canada, giving it the name the North-west Territories. Between 1925 and 1999, the Northwest Territories covered a land area of 3,439,296 km2 larger than that of India. On April 1, 1999, the existing Northwest Territories was split into two parts, with a separate Nunavut territory being formed to represent the Inuit people.
3. If you want to make the big bucks in Canada mostly everyone would think you need to move to Alberta right? Wrong! Per capita residents in the NWT earn on average nearly $20,000 more per year, even the average income is higher in the Northwest Territories by nearly $500 over Alberta!
4. NWT is actually the world’s second largest producer of diamonds in the world. The diamonds found in the Arctic territory are not only more pure than the diamonds found in africa, but they are of an overall higher quality and mined ethically where each worker is paid quite a fair wage.
5. Yellowknife is the capital of the Northwest Territories. Yellowknife has almost half the population of the entire Northwest Territories. It’s currently the only city in the Northwest Territories!
6. The Dempster Highway is Canada’s northernmost motorway, carrying road-trippers across the Arctic Circle to Inuvik in the Mackenzie River Delta. And now you can push even farther: The new Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway will take you to Tuktoyaktuk, an Arctic Ocean settlement famous for pingos, caribou and Inuvialuit culture.
7. If you travel to the uttermost tip of the territory, you’ll experience what may be the harshest weather on Earth. Meteorologists say the icebound Parry Islands, near the top of the Arctic Archipelago, suffer from a combo of clouds, dampness, wind and unrelenting cold that make this the most extreme, least habitable corner of Canada.

Aurora ( Northern Lights) over Terrace BC Canada
Aurora borealis or Northern Lights. Terrace BC, Canada. July 15th - 16th, 2012.
I didn't plan on shooting these, this event took place the day I got back from vacation. That's why I didn't find a better backdrop for some of the photos. Many are from my backyard in the middle of town, so there is some light pollution. Here is some info about this event...
Big sunspot AR1520 unleashed an X1.4-class solar flare on July 12th at 1653 UT. Because this sunspot is directly facing Earth, everything about the blast was geo-effective. When the CME first arrived on July 14th, its effect appeared weak. However, conditions in the wake of the CME soon become stormy. On July 14-16 Northern Lights appeared in the United States as far south as Oregon, California, Colorado, Missouri, Utah, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Washington, Illinois, Kansas, South Dakota, Nebraska, Michigan and Arkansas.

Aurora Borealis - Northern Lights Yellowknife, NWT
Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) time lapse movies from Prelude Territorial Park 30 Km outside of Yellowknife filmed September 2011. Used Canon 5 D Mark II, 24 mm F1.4 lens to record the individual images.
Northern Lights Timelapses from Near Yellowknife, NT, Canada
I've gotten many questions from family & friends about how the Aurora Borealis Northern Lights look and move about the sky. While in Yellowknife in Canada's Northwest Territories last week, I decided to have a little fun experimenting with a timelapse. This was shot over about 3 hours of aurora activity on 2 separate nights, from 10:00pm to 02:00 both nights and compiled into a 90-second video.
The reason that the snow is bright is that the moon was just past 1st quarter, about 55% lit, so the nighttime light was brighter than I would have preferred. And, the curve distortion is due to the fact that these were shot almost straight vertically with a fisheye lens, capturing much of the total sky dome.
I hope this will convey just a tad of what a spectacle the aurora are.
For those interested, this is the techie stuff: Shot with a Nikon D800e, Rokinon 20mm Fisheye, 5-sec exposures at 10-sec intervals, ISO 4000, f/4.5. Composited from 1,518 separate images.
