About the Image(s)

It appears our group has a bit of a night sky theme this month. I have taken many night sky images but never of the aurora. In northern Michigan, if the aurora is present typically it can only be seen with use of a camera as muted colors near the horizon. But Oct. 10 of last month was different. The aurora was very strong and clearly visible to the eye although not as saturated and colorful as what the camera was able to detect. The aurora was present in nearly every direction; north, west, east, and overhead. This image was taken looking east along the local country road which leads to our house.
This single image was taken with my Sony A7R5 on a tripod. The lens was a 14mm Sigma DG Art 1.4; exposure f1.4 at 3.2 sec; ISO 500. In post, I opened up the shadows a bit on the road and foreground trees.

So beautiful and how lucky you are to have seen the Aurora. We saw it briefly here in Northern California, but the sky was too polluted here.   Posted: 11/30/2024 04:06:33
