Northern Lights

I was at an art show in Yorkton, SK this past weekend.  After setting up the show, I was headed to the campground I planned to stay at.  However, I noticed a flicker of light in the sky and realized that the Northern Lights were making an appearance.  Not just any appearance though.... A GRAND appearance!


I drove out of town and found a grid road that I hoped would provide some interesting foreground material for the show.  However, I found nothing but fields.  So rather than risk missing the show, I pulled over and began shooting.  There was also a full moon so often the fields were quite well lit which is unusual.


Each exposure was only 6 seconds long.  Taken with a 24mm lens opened up to f2.8.  My ASA was set to 1600.  All I could do was think WOW!!!
