Trees and Aurora

[Kyle Jones]

I made a might effort for these: brought my tripod onto the deck. The sky was so full of lights that I wanted much more sky than foreground, so the location didn't really matter to me. Any thoughts are welcome.

Quite an arduous effort to get out to shoot these Kyle. Hope you can recover from the journey. Pretty amazing show and I like your framing to only barely include some kind of anchor at the bottom. The show is in the sky.

Nice. An evening to remember!!

 

[JimFox]

Yep, that's quite the journey you made Kyle! It might take you months to recover!

What super cool shots! I agree the sky was where it was at. I know when I was shooting it last night that 14mm was way too narrow!

A truly gorgeous display! How long a shutter speed to capture these?

Nice, clear sky & bright lights! I probably would have ditched any foreground & shot straight up.
We had t-storms all night, so I would get a glimpse of pink in the sky before a lightning bolt destroyed my night vision. And I went back to bed (work day next day)

These were 3.2 seconds

I think you handled this perfectly, Kyle. Beautiful images.
