    We had a wonderful time welcoming Guests to our D We had a wonderful time welcoming  Guests to our Dark Skies weekend. Here are some tips from our experience so you can hit the ground running and capture the lights like a pro: 

1. Wrap up warm - The cold can be unforgiving, so don’t forget a coat, hat, and gloves.

2. Get away from city lights - Step away from the city lights and find a spot with dark skies.

3. Prepare your camera - Set your aperture as wide as possible and ISO to around 800.

4. Use a tripod - This will help keep your camera steady during long exposures.

5. Be patient - The Northern Lights will reward you if you wait long enough.

Please share your experiences with us and show off your Northern Lights photos! #NothernLights #AuroraBorealis
