I'm going to Iceland on Friday for the weekend and have booked the Superjeep northern lights tour. I know we will be lucky to see them but I'd like to prepare myself as much as posisble.
I have a Sony A6000, Sigma 19mm 2.8, Manfrotto befree tripod plus a remote shutter.
From some research I'll need to keep the lens wide open, with a shutter speed of around 30 seconds in some case and a high ISO (auto or should I select this manually?). The Sigma 19mm lens should arrive today so I'll have a play with focusing it before I go.
I feel like I have the right equipment but have very little experience/practice actually using it. Any tips most appreciated. My aim (if everything falls in to place) is to have a nice picture I blow up on a canvas in my office.
