Video: Alaska's northern lights captured in 4K ultra high-definition video

Fairbanks photographer Ronn Murray, already known for his incredible photos and time-lapses of the northern lights, has now turned to video. After years of creating photographic time-lapses, Murray decided to try to capture the northern lights in real-time.

Murray was so captivated by the video footage that he pushed his Canon DSLR gear aside and opted for a brand new Sony a7S video camera, which shoots 4k resolution footage, to capture aurora in ultra-high definition.

"The Sony a7S is amazing. So much so in fact, that it's shifted my entire world away from still and more towards video," Murray says. Murray also has a live aurora cam available online so viewers from around the world can see the northern lights as he does.
