Excellent! Where are the reindeer usually at this time?
Alexander Tsvetkov, the reindeer go into the forest-tundra. They come to the camp early in the morning with the whole herd, walk around the tents, touch the skins on the tents with their antlers, and grunt – asking the owners for a treat – bread. And then they go back into the forest-tundra. Thank you for your attention and interesting question.
And the Chukchi wait in their tent for dawn, and dawn comes in summer... It's from a Soviet song... Great!
Andrey Kolesov, well, it's in the song and about the Chukchi. And this is a Nenets camp. The Nenets live in tents, essentially huts, on the Kola Peninsula, in Yamal, and in Taimyr. And the Chukchi live in yarangas in Chukotka. These dwellings are constructed differently. A tent wouldn't withstand the strong winds that blow in Chukotka. Thanks for the humorous comment and for the appreciation. The photo was taken at -38 degrees Celsius.

Vera Ketova, interesting, thank you. A Chukchi in a yaranga, a Nenets in a tent. And the song was sung by Kola Beldy, he's a Nanai... somehow he didn't figure it out! ))
Simply superb! And the specs are practically the same as mine. Even though your Fuji lens isn't as fast—it's f/5.6—the photo is very well-exposed. Of course, the aurora bore causes a fair amount of flare, so 30 seconds was enough. I recommend the Rokinon. I used a 12mm f/2 for my XT-3 to shoot the Milky Way. It's quite inexpensive compared to Fuji lenses, and photographers rave about it. There's also an 8mm, but it's a fisheye lens, so you'll need to do a lot of compressing and straightening in photo editing software. Good luck!

jeka-mobile, thank you very much for your detailed comment, and especially for the practical advice. The moon also helped us; it shone incredibly brightly. Apparently, the air becomes very clear at -38°C.
