trip planning
要plan今個trip..............我都睇咗唔少資料...............揀追光團,揀b&b.............最花時間喺點樣唔自駕...............但可以喺banff住到2個locations (咁先可以reach out到多d唔同景點).................同無重覆景點.................再接番上個flight schedule
機票
今次要坐好多程機..........……因無direct flight去yellowknife...........either喺calgary/ edmonton轉..........我嘅am只夠換到第1程去vancouver嘅機票...........其餘全部買air canada...............好抵吓~~~~
1) hong kong (hkg) --> vancouver (yvr)
-呢程用48,000 am換咗張premium econ飛番嚟…………只需比個手續費hk$330/人
2) vancouver (yvr) --> calgary (yyc) --> yellowknife (yzf)
yellowknife (yzf) --> calgary (yyc)
calgary (yyc) --> vancouver (yvr)
vancouver (yvr) --> hong kong (hkg)
-全條air canada econ飛……..成為hk$7,702/人...........咁多程內陸機+1程長途..............好抵呀~~~~
-econ都分好多個class..........我只有其中1程喺econ嘅flex........佢好豪咁將我全條飛咁多程都enjoy到flex嘅benefits...............ie 2 check in luggages; max 23 kgs/ luggage (我邊有咁多行李鴉..........拎死我咩?); 免費揀座位
ground transportation
我哋無租車...............喺黃刀鎮主要喺追光.............無嘜去睇其他景點 (其實都無嘜)..............所以活動範圍都喺巿中心附近............全部都喺行 (好健康)
但由calgary落banff............同埋要去banff + jasper嘅景點............往返機場..........就多ground transportation要安排喇
黃刀鎮極光理想月份
黃刀鎮1年有2個最佳月份睇極光...............1個喺秋天 (8月中-9月底)................1個喺冬天 (12月-4月)................秋天會相對睇得舒服d..................因為夜晚temp ~0度..............又有湖景...............可影吓極光嘅倒影~~
但冬天喺黃刀睇真喺好challenging................因為夜晚temp閒閒哋只有-3x度 (有人話feel temp就低到有得-4x度)..................凍到人都癲,頭都痕~~~~
我唔知秋天定冬天d極光會勁d................但我直腳冬天會好d................好似日本桃咁.................5月巿場已開始有山梨溫室桃食,不過細隻..................但最當造始終喺~7月中..............最頂級嘅大糖嶺, 春日居, 加納岩, 岡山白桃............全部傾巢而出,100花齊放................又大(搵細隻d都難)又甜又多汁..............所以秋天會喺剛開始.................極光嘅當造期喺冬天................你睇吓北歐, 冰島都只有冬天睇極光
以上純個人廢up...............豪無根據................唔好認真...............hahaha

aurora index forecast
只要google吓..............就search到好多極光指數預測websites.................達人喺base on呢個website去知道fairbank帶嘅極光指數有幾強
http://auroraforecast.gi.alaska.edu/?area=NorthAmerica
其實kp index 2都可以睇到極光...........以前喺norway/ sweden睇都徘徊喺2左右.............我想講試過有晚指數強到有6..............滿心歡喜等待爆發嘅1刻...........可惜當晚好厚雲............幾個鐘都唔散.............等到2-3am都慘食白果~~~
所以最重要喺天朗氣清,見到星星............就算kp index喺2都會有嘢睇
影極光tips
我當然無資格講呢個topic啦...................網上都唔少資料教人點影.............自己search吓..............我今批極光相嘅setting喺 "manual mode, f1.8, iso ~640, 捕光~10-15秒 (有時要adjust吓), timer 2秒 (因我無remote control,咁樣可以避免撳shutter時所產生嘅震動)"
腳架唔洗講...........就必備架啦!
bare eyes極光vs photo極光
因為postcard/網上d相見到d極光都好碧綠............又會有d紫色.............所以常以為極光就喺咁..............原來相d極光好翠綠............喺因為曝光後嘅結果...........當場肉眼睇同影出嚟喺有顏色上嘅誤差..........即喺 :
-現場肉眼睇 : 灰白色似霧/煙嘅物體 = 相中喺淺綠色
-現場肉眼睇 : 淺白色嘅光體 = 相中喺翠綠色..........有機會混雜紅/紫
-現場肉眼睇 : 強白中帶綠/嘅光體 = 相中喺爆晒光.............除非反應快到減得切個iso同曝光時間
-現場肉眼睇 : 碧綠嘅光體 = 相中喺爆光 (多謝達人提醒................今次我哋喺肉眼見到碧綠, 堅紅, 橙紅, 紫..............我好似斷咗片咁,無嘜印象...............hahaha)
有時佢哋會有連住嘅movement............郁得優雅.............好似dancing咁.............極光嘅movement幅度有幾勁有幾快..........就由nature話事.........你遇到會喺弱到似薄霧嘅極光........定喺強光體............就要睇大家同佢嘅緣份
