Weixiang and Ivy

A simple and intimate affair.

I like hands and legs. Once in awhile, I like to see them off the ground.

The wedding favours. I got one too for my supper. Cupcakes are great for supper.

up/down: I didn’t know they link up so well until now. That’s Weixiang and his best man waiting for the bride.

Tickled.

I like this on so many levels. Something  to start the Monday with.

Greg and Cheryl

We’ll take a break from northern lights and go back to weddings. A very simple and enjoyable wedding of Greg and Cheryl. A fuss free morning ceremony at the St Teresa’s church, followed by a cosy dinner reception at the Capella Hotel with lots of laughter sums up the day.

The Boutonnières are made by the Cheryl herself. Every groomsman got a different one.

The arrival.

Love those windows at St Teresa’s.

The super duper awesome flower girl getting a little help to be seen.

The kind of things I like to see after a kiss:)

An alternative view of the ceremony.

As he said, every wedding needs someone like this.

That guessing game. Never fail to get the crowd laughing.

If I recall correctly, she said something like “Is he thanking me?”

The colors of the lights

Some pretty surreal colors of the northern lights. Looks like one trip is not enough.

Somewhere over the aurora

There is the milky way and the stars.

Till we meet again

The 4 days of northern lights chasing were great. With all great trips, it had to end somewhere.  We will be heading back to Singapore in afew hour’s time. Here’s a photo taken outside our campsite where we spent the night in a modern lavvu in Senja, battling the intermittent waves of hail, rain and snow in sub zero temperatures.

Starry night

On the 2nd day of the hunt, the northern light were obscured by some low clouds, leaving edges of the clouds with a hint of green turquoise hues.

The northern lights

Some images from the 1st day’s trip.

The day started rather slow with extremely faint sightings of the northern lights. In fact, this light is barely visible through naked eyes, but the camera was able to pick it up with a long shutter speed. I like how it’s hanging around beside the milky way.

Occasionally, it got a little more intense. It was like this for almost 5 hours.

The Milky Way. Prior to this, I didn’t know the Milky Way was that huge. I’ve always thought I needed a telephoto lens for it, but I was wrong.

The lights constantly teasing us.

Sometimes the streak of lights appear really long, stretching across the skies like a rainbow.

And without warning, things just exploded. Within minutes, we were surrounded by explosive bursts of the northern lights.

They were everywhere. It’s hard to pick the one you want to shoot. At some point in times, you can see the lights ‘racing’, somewhat like electronic equalizers.

These lights have a life of their own as they danced in almost unpredictable patterns.

The reds were hard to see with the naked eye and are more obvious on the camera.

The lake in a distance illuminated by the lights.

Massive burst of lights.

The lights running slightly below the clouds. In minutes, they were completely covered by the clouds and the entire area was blanketed with an eerie glow.
