Blasdel Barn and Aurora

[Kyle Jones]

Something woke me up early this morning, and while I was drinking some coffee I took a look out the window and saw some aurora in the sky. Fifteen minutes later I was set up next to the Blasdel Barn south of Kalispell trying out my new RF 24mm f/1.4 lens on a real scene. The aurora wasn't strong but it was nice to get some color between the clouds.

Any thoughts are welcome.

1) Landscape version at f/1.4

2) Portrait version at f/2

These worked out really well. I like the portrait mode view with the extra stars and foreground. Is that a snow squall off to the left near the horizon?

A combination of a snow squall and light pollution

Aurora definitely present here. I like the way it makes the clouds warmer. I like the vertical image best - more sky and stars! And gold star for taking quick action when you could have just watched the view and enjoyed your coffee!

There were reports of aurora activity in the northern part of US. No such luck here in PNW due to clouds.

Nice colors.
