The OP was just joking about that. It was probably 30 seconds, and during the last second he (she?) moved the tripod. Interesting effect.

P.S. #4, 6, and 10 are my favorites.

Stunning!!!! Great Shots, I was trying to figure out what was going on in the second pic, then I realized it was a tree.

Thanks so much for sharing

Truly amazing. I subscribe to an alert service and they warned that a big event was on last week, interesting to see the results.
Wow.

Fantastic shots Lauri.
Somehow #4 works best for me. All the elements are in right place.
Also #7 is really interesting one.

Wow, these are fantastic. What a great night of aurora and super shots. Thanks for posting.

Great stuff! Never get tired of these aurora shots! Have never seen an aurora before and hope to get some pics of it someday. Meanwhile, keep on posting!

I visited your gallery - the outdoor photography is stunning! Gorgeous color, composition, some are like impressions, what did you do to get those? How long have you been taking pictures?

Nice to hear, thanks!!

Those photos were able to get simply with hard work! I'm used to use different techniques (like many kind of exposures, different angles etc etc) and for example those "impression" -shots is taken usually with long shutter speed (1/100-30s).

I've been photographing two years.

I took the first shot ever (with camera) about three years ago and one year after it I bought the K-x, now I have also the K-5.

Talk like that you and I are going to fall out.

You shouldn't be able to take such stunning imagery yet, you've not been doing it for years.

Marvelous photos.

dane.dawg · 03-22-2013, 07:13 PM

Awesome..

captureit · 03-22-2013, 11:49 PM

Your hard work has paid off. It's encouraging to know it is possible to reach much higher levels in a relatively short period of time. I have tread a similar path and I would like to now own a K-5.
