Photo from yesterday. Pictures from Monday's little Ragnarök rehearsal will take a while, though. Many of those are complex panoramas, some wider than 180°. Takes time that is currently demanded elsewhere.

My wife and I are fortunate to be in Iceland at the moment, and we managed to capture a timelapse of last night’s aurora. It was one of those moments in my life when I could hardly believe my own eyes. Enjoy!

Another amazing aurora lit of the southern hemisphere last night, caused by the strongest solar storm in 20 years.
Hobart, Tasmania was treated to a beautiful display.
Was chatting to a friend today about the importance of having art in our lives. To focus our minds on creating art and expressing that aspect of ourselves. Art is like nature, we need to "touch grass" on a regular basis, and we need to "hold the brush" just as often.
Here's one of my favourite moments from last night. It's shot with a 10mm fisheye, so it's more than 180° of view from top to bottom. That burst of corona above the fjord is directly above my head, and then continues behind me to the south. The 10mm sees all of this.
I must take care to keep my head out of the shot in such moments :)

Okey one more. This time my regular 14mm perspective, looking straight up at a corona. I picked this one from the same time of night, to match the other two 10mm shots in this thread.
I am struggling with editing these, because the colours are so intense. It looks un-natural, as though they are doctored. Yet I've backed off the saturation by double my usual amount. It really is an intense display when the big ones zip over head.
What colours are real? The camera is seeing a lot more colour than our eyes do. We did see the red and greens in the night, for sure. At times the sky was like daylight, but green and red. If you tinker with white-balance you can push those reds into purple, and the brighter greens into yellow hues. Reality is anything you want it to be on a night like this.

I probably should be back out there taking more photos, but I came home for a bit to get warm and have a hot meal. And part of me wants to head to bed, and part of me wants to sit out in the cold and hope to see a few more of these.
The beauty of the movement, the shapes, the colours and the transience is something I will never be able to fully grasp. But I keep trying.

A little #aurora peeking through the clouds tonight.

Einen unerfüllten fotografischen Lebenstraum hatte ich noch:
Polarlicht. Im Schwarzwald. Mit Nebelmeer.
Das war's dann wohl, ich kann meine Kamera einmotten. Besser wird's nicht mehr.

The #Aurora forecast for last night was good enough that I took a punt on going out to photograph it.
I live in south east Queensland, which is around the 28º latitude and thus far too close to the tropics to usually get aurora, but the 1.5 hr drive to a darkish area west of Brisbane proved worth it.
As aurora photos go, these are fairly tame, but for the location, I'm extremely happy with having got this much.

I thought the Aurora was going to be a bust tonight, but right as I was getting ready to leave it turned into quite the show! Got these great pictures. Was 100% worth braving the 60mph gusts and freezing temps. I was up at crown point overlooking the Columbia river from the Oregon side. Pretty good for only a 30-minute drive outside of Portland. #aurora #auroraborealis
