Have been digging deep into DxO PhotoLab for my aurora photos and have been amazed just how much better the results are when pushing lenses to the limit.

It handles noise much better than Capture One, while still holding onto detail. And the lens optimisation for my Sigma 14-24mm is just amazing. Never seen such clarity in my night shots before.

Can't believe the software can make such an impact.

That image was taken with the Lumix S9 + Sigma 14-24mm F2.8, and edited in DxO PhotoLab 6.

I am several years behind in my version of PhotoLab, I think the current version is 8 and there's a new one due soon. No need to subscribe either. Pay once.

What is great about DxO is the software downloads whatever lens and camera modules as required. You don't need to buy a new update just to use your new camera.

The interface is nice enough. Simple and effective.

Here's a treat for being good this week, a timelapse of the forest last night in Arctic Norway.

There's a very very big mountain to the south of this creek that holds back the clouds. We constantly get long patches of clear sky even when the entire region is clouded over. And sometimes the aurora activity kicks up at the same time. That's a win.

The joy of the unexpected.

Yesterday was by any measure a totally shit day for me. Except for one brief break in the clouds. Metaphorical and literal.

I stepped outside at twilight to watch another aurora, and over the next hour the cloud cover thinned. And it was a marvellous show. I decided to pop up a camera and start a timelapse in case more nordlys arrived... and I got lucky

One of the best auroras I've ever seen.
