My half-hearted attempt at taking a photo of the light show last night… taken from a dark laneway near my house… I wish I’d hopped in the car and driven out to the country with a tripod, but not the first, and certainly not the last, bad decision I’ve made in my life.
The most interesting thing for me about the lights were how varied the colours were… there were times when parts of the sky were completely blood red, then the more familiar green and blue, and, as in this image, sometimes a spectacular purple.
Shot handheld, with my Nikon ZF + 28mm f1.4 Thypoch Simera at ISO 3200 / f2.0 (I think) / 0.5s
