aussie big bob Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Nanook Cool photos. Where you there long. This is one part of the world I would like to visit. The fishing looks tough but at least you dont have to take the esky to keep the beer and fish cold. Cheers Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregL Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi Nanook Some great shots there, especially the "lights" shots, amazing! Thanks for sharing Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi Nanook Terrific photos - love the 'northern lights'!! Also the The Land of the midnight Sun! I still have a poster I bought there in '77 showing a 24hr montage of photos looking out to sea & the sun never dips below the horizen! Gorgeous!! I seem to recall a book called 'under the northern lights' that we studied at school, many years ago! I think Nanook was one of the characters!! What on earth was your job up there????

taloyoak Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the comments everyone, Roberta- I am a Nurse Practitioner. Mrs Sword- Yes Nanook is the Inuktitut word for Polar Bear however it is spelled NANUQ. here is the spelling in the language: ᓇᓄᖅ if anyone wants to know anything more, or how to get there etc, etc, then just ask I would be more than happy to tell you.

taloyoak Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Once again mad pics. But the question is whys the sky have so much green in it. its unbelivable. It is the Aurora Borealis ( Northern Lights). Those ones I have with the reds in them were taken in Cape Dorset on Baffin Island. There was a Solar Flare, so I knew that the light show would be awesome that night, so I went out of the community to take pics( not so much light from town), but as I was taking the photo a person drove by on their ATV...LOL!, hence the white streak at the bottom left of pic. I usually shoot at f2.0 -2.8 with around 25-40 second exposure, iso100. The grainy ones were shot without tripod at iso400 i think?. The light shows are on all of the time. Winter is the best time, and actually where I have been living for the last 2 years ( Fort Chipewyan) has awesome shows, and it is well South from the other places I have lived.
