What a night it has been here in the Yukon. Shortly before 10pm the northern lights literally exploded overhead. Endless ribbons of green, blue and pink danced across the sky from one horizon to the other for at least 3 hours.
I could have continued to photograph the aurora all night but by 1am my camera froze thanks to the -30 degree temps!
Tonights images were taken with a Nikon D700 and Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. Speed was set at 1000ASA, f/3.2 and between 10-15 secs for each exposure. Cable release and tripod are essential.
It's 130am and the lights continue to dazzle. Unfortunately I have to work in the morning so its off to bed.
What a show!
WOW! Thanks for sharing your images. Keeping my fingers crossed that one day I get to see such an amazing display of the northern lights.
