Back on Oct 10th, was an incredible Northern Lights Display. It had been awesome displays for several days in a row actually. I was in Minnesota chasing fall colors and hoping for the Northern Lights to appear. In this case I was in Northern Minnesota shooting the fall colors and the Northern Lights because the skies were clear up there. On the 10th was going to be another night of Northern Lights, but now it was forecasted to be cloudy in the North but Southern Minnesota was showing mostly clear. So on the day of the 10th, I spent 6 hours driving to Southern Minnesota to Myre Big Island State Park, a park I have been to several times scouting and photographing. So it gave me the best location to shoot North at.
This image is from what's called the Corona. With strong Northern Lights, directly up above will be this fantastic display called the Corona. That's where all those cool Northern Light Angels and Eagles, etc come from. So I had 3 cameras pointed North at various angles along the shoreline, and I had 1 camera, one of my Nikon Z6!!'s pointed straight up, or close to straight up. I had trees there that I had to be very careful of not getting in the frame. Minnesota has lot's and lot's of trees!
It seemed to me like this was the Northern Lights getting smashed up with the Rainbow because there is pretty much every color in the rainbow in this Northern Light display.
