Earlier this year I was deep in the Frank Church and we had a solar storm. I sat and watched the Northern Lights without the proper camera equipment and was unable to document the moment.
Not this time! I have been at this location in McCall for 16 years now and this is the first time all the elements lined up and I was able to shoot the Northern Lights. Also notice the Big Dipper on the upper left corner.
What started off as a few flickers of light turned into a bright glow.
Keep in mind I was shooting with my astronomy lens so it was pretty dark to the naked eye. This lens gobbles any light and there was a bunch with the Aurora.
I was shooting not long after sunset so as the session moved on, lights became more enhanced.
It was like a light rain storm.
This one is probably the best of the bunch.
Well, that was interesting!
Good night folks!
