About 150-160 degrees of view - f/4.5, 15 seconds, iso 1250, 17mm. We are getting closer to the peak of solar activity that loops in 11 year cycles. So next few years should be good. I captured some of the auroras caused by the two powerful solar storms in this winter. I wanted to take some timelapse videos, but all storms were so big that my 17mm lens would have been too narrow for capturing all. And of course, it's way more fun to be there and shoot where the best auroras are at the moment Aurora shooting ended at the end of march, because nights got too light.

It's not only the size and the shape of the aurora, but also the the trees silhouettes as compositional elements that make the image so attractive.

Both you can show as a member on Google+. May 19, 2012 jackquin Offline Image Upload: Off Registered: August 2006 Location: United States Posts: 41 May 20, 2012 2:15pm Wonderful, Harry. It's only through your eyes that I get to see such grand stuff as this.

I shooted quite long (until 4am) and had enough time to plan and capture these as panoramas too.

The tree in the foreground seems to be punching a hole in the light show...like it has it's own aura.

I wanted to include something as compositional element in this. June 18, 2012
