Filmmaker and photographer Sebastian Saarloos was born and raised in Alaska and is a land surveyor by trade, and also has also served on the Delta Junction City Council. He's been taking photographs since digital photography started back in the late 1990s, but really dedicated himself to shooting when he got sober in 2011. It gave him a way to focus his energy and passion, and avoid the bar scene.
This video was shot with a Nikon D300 near the airport in the Interior Alaska community of Delta Junction on April 23-24, between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. Saarloos uses Facebook, weather and space weather websites, aurora webcams and apps on his phone to help him know when to go take aurora photos.
