p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Aurora Borealis at Highland Light


A G1 geomagnetic storm caused a brief display of northern lights last Friday night. I was out teaching an astrophotography workshop here on Cape Cod when we were all surprised by the ghostly visitor from the north.

Thanks for lookin'!
Chris

Hey Chris,

#1 sure looks very nice! Good work on that. In #2 the light at your feet just feels very odd and isn't working for me.

Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the term "light leak", doesn't it Jim?

Gorgeous images!!!! I love the 1st one but almost wish you could have backed up a bunch and zoomed in to compress the aurora into the scene more...

But I really had to go Jim... at least its not yellow light....

Glad you like the first one! Thinking about printing is big on metal.

Amazing shots - thanks for sharing them! I'm also banging my head on my desk right now. I was at Nauset Beach that night facing east and south and can't remember looking north at all.

Going to have to look up your workshops.

Thanks
Bob

Thanks Bob! If I did not get a notification from some other night shooters up north, I would not have known a G1 storm was in progress. Just lucked out on this one.

Chris,

Can you provide us the same experience for the September class? You seem to have some good connections!

Gorgeous first image ! I'd maybe look at reducing the light from the lower light in the building at the base of the lighthouse before printing.
