p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Lavender Light.


In a desperate attempt to shoot the aurora last week. I started driving randomly to the darkest place near me. I got skunked Sunrise being only a hour from then I decided to hang around and check things out. I started shooting this really cool wheat field with a lone oak tree in the middle and was happy with that. That's until I turned around and noticed the crazy color behind me! Back in the car. Driving around like a chicken with its head cut off I noticed this lavender farm in perfect position for the rising sun. Long story short, sometimes it pays to just get out and shoot no matter what or where you are.

Hey Brian,

How cool! I love that Lavender light.... very nice.

Now where were you that you thought you would see the Aurora? I have heard of some shooting it in the northern states, but I would think it would have to be pretty rare unless you are up in Minnesota or such.

Jim I just tried to find the darkest place near my house about about 30 mins away facing true north. If you don't know about this site Soft Serve Get to know it it's AWESOME! Gives you about an hour warning if your watching it, it also has a map of what KP strength you need to see it in whatever state your in. There is a Solar Storm forecasted for this weekend. So if you live in the right spot, have no clouds and can find a comp facing north, Jump on it like a kid in a candy store Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment.

Forgot to mention you can hook that site up to your twitter account if you have one and they will text you when the KP level is above a 4. In Oregon I've seen it at a 5.26kp but really needs to be a 6 and above to really get some action.
