One more pic today. We set the cameras rolling on timelapse mode, then step back to enjoy some hot chocolate and just watch the show unfold. This capture was from one of the last flushes, when the ribbons danced rapidly to the north. Our entire fjord was light up with green neon.
Sharing these evenings with a great bunch of people makes it doubly special.

Everyone had just gone to bed when the satellite data wiggled. Within 30 minutes we had assembled by the shores of a frozen lake and setup the cameras, and watched the nordlys unfold. Slowly at first, just a gentle band in the north.
And then it all went disco.

Captured on the Lumix S9 with Sigma 14-24mm F2.8. Exposures were 2.5 seconds at F2.8 and ISO 4000.

Some of my favourite moments on camera with the nordlys are not with the fjords or the forests, but just shooting directly up to the sky above us and marvelling at the formations and elegance of these aurora bands.
And in this instance, the moon itself makes a cameo appearance.

The first night we shot auroras around the cabins, and got to grips with our camera gear in the cold conditions. Everyone did well. The second night we went harder, and ventured into the forest on a quiet little trail.
Under the moonlight we captured the fresh snow and frost that blanketed everything in white. And then the nordlys arrived! We kept going for about 3 hours, and Shellie served up hot drinks to keep us warm.

Grabbed a few shots in between helping our companions get started. A huge day today. A lovely day.

Sometimes the quiet moments get loud. Feels like the planet is angry at us humans. Indeed, the entire solar system is paying attention.

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.

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 :)

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.

![XKCD comic #3196 "Aurora Coolness" https://xkcd.com/3196/
explanation from ExplainXCKD wiki https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/3196:_Aurora_Coolness
transcript:
A graph of “aurora coolness” over many hours. The coolness starts at “visible glow on the horizon, color only visible in photos” and gradually moves up and down to “spectacular ribbons of color spanning the sky and illuminating the landscape”, which is is labeled “5 or 10 minutes”, then gradually goes back down, almost getting all the way up, and eventually ending back at “visible glow on the horizon, color only visible in photos”.
Title text: I've had countless nights where the line never left the bottom zone of the graph, but the few moments where it's climbed all the way to the top have made up for them all.
explanation (truncated to fit alt-text):
The graph in this comic reports events during an aurora rated on 'coolness' over time, and shows that truly interesting events are fairly frequent, but often short-lived and not predictable. Both the caption and the title text encourage the viewer of an aurora to be patient with the 'boring' stuff, as more exciting events could happen with little or no notice. The caption gives general advice, while the title text reports Randall's own experiences.
The comic was published at around the time when low-latitude auroras were particularly anticipated to be visible, and may even have been displaying themselves to Randall in the immediate run-up to publication[...]](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/5398260 "XKCD comic #3196 \"Aurora Coolness\" https://xkcd.com/3196/

Welp, I captured two shots of the tonight's big solar storm. The most intense part of the storm happened at my location before the sunset. The first shot below was shortly after sunset at Sand Mountain from a bit of a distance. It's an offroader's sand dune recreation area & it's $40 to go in. 🫤 And the second shot was at Harmon Reservoir a couple miles east of Fallon, Nevada. Nice to see some color this far south! 😍

Me too, me too!!
I had no idea the #aurora was out tonight until our village chat group lit up! This is the very first time I've ever seen the Northern Lights – what a dream come true! 🤩🥹 At first, there were just faint green smudges flickering in and out of the night sky, followed by a soft red tint. I ended up standing in the garden for half an hour in my dressing gown, trying to capture it all on camera. Unsurprisingly, my phone did a better job than the camera at bringing out the colours, because I have no idea what I'm doing. 😅
The first image is from my phone, the second is from the camera. In the first, I've silhouetted the houses for privacy. Can you spot the Plough/Big Dipper just above the middle roof? 😊 The second photo is SOOC.

Als ich mich endlich überwunden hatte, trotz Kälte nochmal raus auf die Felder zu fahren, war die größte Show leider schon vorüber. Trotzdem wunderschön.

About last night.
I haven’t got to processing the short time lapse yet, so here’s a small taste. #CabinLife #Nunavut #Aurora #AuroraBorealis
