🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL. BACK TO COLD WEATHER PHOTOGRAPHY. ❄️

School is back — and that means aurora season is too!
👉 30% OFF — while supplies last!

Long nights, crisp temperatures, frost and humidity are all part of the magic of photographing the Northern Lights. But while you are waiting for that perfect aurora, your DSLR deserves a little protection too.

Get 30% OFF Camera Parkas and be ready for the nights when the sky puts on the show of a lifetime.

Keep your camera protected from cold, frost, wind and humidity, so you can stay outside longer and concentrate on getting the shot.

A small-business note for our American friends: We are very sorry, but as a small Canadian business, we can no longer afford to sell and ship to the United States because of the current tariffs. We truly appreciate your understanding and support.

🔋 Batteries charged?
💾 SD cards formatted?
🎒 Camera bag packed?

Be prepared for next week's triple celestial events!

1- On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will be visible across Greenland, Iceland and Spain, along with a very small part of Portugal. One of the best places to witness totality is Reykjavik, Iceland, where day will turn to night for 2 minutes and 18 seconds. Pro tip: stuck at home? A partial solar eclipse may be visible in your area - it is always fun to watch the moon take a chunk out of the sun!

2- The annual Perseid Meteor Shower: this year, it peaks on August 12–13 during a New Moon (the best moon conditions in a decade), and this means beautifully dark skies for optimal viewing. Pro tip: get outside early to catch the Earth-grazers (meteors that enter Earth's atmosphere and then head back into space) - these are slow, bright and quite big.

3- A six-planet alignment on August 12: this is a pre-dawn event where Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune will parade together. While Mars and Saturn will be visible to the naked eye, the others require binoculars (or a telescope).

All of these events require clear skies 🤞🤞🤞

When traveling to Yellowknife to chase the northern lights, the magic doesn’t stop after sunrise.
Winter days offer incredible photo opportunities too, like sundogs (also known as parhelia). We have been lucky enough to witness them a few times on crisp, cold days.
These “mock suns” appear on either side of the sun when light is refracted through ice crystals at a 22-degree angle.
And as a bonus? Getting to experience it all while standing on an ice road makes it even more unforgettable.
Pack your DSLR, your warm clothes, you camera parka and head up North! Explore Canada in winter.

Strong G3-class geomagnetic storms predicted!

A G3 magnetic storm warning was issued by NOAA yesterday for Dec 9 (+/- 24 hours...). This may result in KP6 to KP7 activity.
Clear skies are needed and may be hard to find in December in the northern hemisphere but one can hope!

This picture from the NOAA Space weather prediction centre shows how far south aurora can be seen during a G3. Check the link to their page for more tips on aurora viewing.
