After five consecutive nights of shooting auroras, I’ve decided that it is probably in my best interest NOT to ever go to Alaska, Norway, or any of those other amazing places where you get to see the northern lights dance every night! Yowsa!
Being able to not only watch the lights dance before my eyes, but create unique compositions is something I’ve been striving for.
Last night between pillar structures and various “blobs” of light filling the sky, I took advantage of the dark sky and went for the star trails image. With a good amount of geomagnetic energy out there, I was able to capture a nice amount of aurora glow along the horizon.
