Northern Lights

Finally, the photos everyone has been waiting for - the Northern Lights! We only saw them one night and these photos turned out a little blurry, but the colors are still there.


For some reason the color to the naked eye was a much whiter, while the photos turned out much greener.


Played around some with the shutter speed, with about a four second seeming to give the best results. It also picked up a significant amount of ground light, even at 11 o'clock at night.


The slow shutter speed likely caused much of the blurriness. Granted, that doesn't explain the trees, that's just the wrong focal length.


It was pretty amazing to watch as the lights would change from moment to moment.

Winter Photos

A few winter photos


A warm stream of water running next to snow covered grass. The steam in the background is coming from geothermal activity.
