Wow, nice shot. I've seen it a couple of times, but never swirling like this

Was this by hand or on a tripod? I had a camera once but no tripod, and it didn't turn out great

Hello, and thank you! Yes I use a tripod and cable release switch! It can be done handheld, but it requires high ISO and a strong northern lights! And a good portion of luck!

Awesome is all I can say.

Awesome shot of an intense aurora. This is better than a lot of shots I see on astronomy forums and published in books and on astronomy calendars.
Well captured. Thanks for sharing.

Breath taking. What was the ISO, f-stop and time?

GeoJerry · 11-19-2012, 09:41 PM

Nice! I really need to get up north in winter and see one of these someday.

Kjell75 · 11-19-2012, 11:00 PM

@fotogaffer, thank you very much!! @jnguyen, ISO was 3200 f2.8 and 3.2sec! @GeoJerry, I guess you have to travel to Alaska then!?
