Description: Please forgive my abscence from FM-hosting. Been quite busy with the competitions, trainings and work. I'll catch you up in the next days. Lot of amazing pictures posted in here lately.

I took this pic few nights back, there was a short but beautiful aurora storm. I was able to take only few good pictures until the storm became really fast phased. Auroras rushed past the whole firmament in 1-2 seconds. Just impossible to shoot those with the gear we have now (if willing to see something else than noise Smile! ).

Really special, Harri! I can only imagine how much fun it is for you to shoot this incredible phenomenon.

It must have been quite a show, Harri!

To answer your question on Theo's post, it appears we now have an allowance of 180Mb, at least that's what my account shows, so you shouldn't need to pay twice. Check the upload page next time you post an image, it should tell you what your allowance is and how much space you have left.

Thanks for the info Wayne Smile After the payment change, my storage was doubled and I thought it was because I had two payments going and didn't dare to stop the other. Now the storage has indeed rised to 180mb and I can safely cancel that other payment, which has been just waste of money.
