Description

IMPORTANT! Night photography exhibits visual noise. In order to capture the night skies it is not possible to produce daylight-like smooth, crisp photos due to the lack of light and technical limitations of the equipment. All night photographs display varying levels of visual noise depending on the techniques used. To remedy this I recommend to either order smaller prints or use textured media such as canvas.

Aurora illuminates frozen stream, Sleeping Giant Provincial Park, near Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada
Last week has been good to those of us who enjoy night photography; a solar storm flared up the night skies with aurora borealis so bright it’s seldom seen in these parts of the world. We, the photogs and the stargazers, were also blessed with pleasant temperatures, clear skies and moonless nights. Other than it being middle of the week, which sucks if you need to get up for work the next morning, the conditions were perfect. It is not easy to find a location for a Northern Lights composition around Thunder Bay; open-space-low-horizon looking north, interesting foreground, away from light pollution, accessible, etc.… So when opportunity presents itself, we shoot and compose (can be tricky in the dark) and shoot, and compose and shoot all the while hoping that the aurora will not disappear for an hour just to reappear again at 3AM as we are packing up our gear and hiking through the dark back to the car.
Here is my personal favorite from last week. Not the most popular Northern Lights photo I’ve taken but one that I will remember. Taking this photo was the climax of this trip for me for many reasons; I’ve just witnessed a large fireball crackle into Lake Superior and illuminate the entire landscape before it disintegrated into pieces – my first, I experienced this "special" feeling of almost spiritual connection with the nature at that moment, and as always felt gratitude that I am able to be out there and do this.
