Northern Lights picture

[Kate]

Why did you get rid of my picture?

It's still on my computer at work! ;)

Geez, some people are so touchy! :p

That is awesome Mora! Thanks for putting it up.

I figured out how to photograph them and have spent the last few nights not getting much sleep so I could go out and watch them. Check it out:

Now it's snowing like mad and 14 F. Just the other day it was 55 and sunny! Where did spring go?

OMG!!! That is the most gorgeous picture! I would love to see that in person but I would freeze to death!

Post some more pics! That is beautiful!

Lest anyone forget in the rush to swoop up there, she may have Northern Lights there but she has no running water and the bathroom is this little shack about 50 feet from the house. :D

L M A O ! That was a really lame attempt at "Charlie Bravo'ing" if I ever saw one! :D

Mora, Cool Pics, take some more, take some more!

That's a really cool pic. I am using digital and still can't get stuff like that done...
Hopefully, if I upgrade to a new camera, I will be able to take stuff like that.
Hope you weren't being followed by polar bears.....or do they have them in your neck of the woods?

Get yourself a digital SLR camera. You can alter all the settings like that and get pics like that. I was able to do some neat stuff with my digital SLR.

MORA, love the pictures. I once saw the Aurora Borealis in VA! It was a shifting pink and purple and was fading in and out and moving. At first I was wondering where I had contact with LSD at work and didn't know it. It really blew me away and it was amazing to see. I've never seen anything like it. Thanks for sharing!

PS: When are you heading to Maine?

I am looking at a Cannon digital Rebel SLR. I took some good pics of tornado's last year and they didn't come out well with my Sony Cybershot....I would suspect that I would get the same results if I tried to do that with the Northern Lights.....

I had a stop at Goose Bay Labrador on my way back from Germany. The Lights there were AWESOME !! The sky pulsated in light.

Thanks for the picks Mora!

With advice from a friend of mine I used 200 speed film, 30 second shutter speed, and 3.5 aperature. I drove to a hill top outside town (too many trees around my house, which is in a low lying swamp area) and set my dinky tripod on the hood of my car. I have a bunch more that are even better. The moon was out and I got it in several pictures with the lights. My favorite is of the lights of Fairbanks with the aurora above it, but I don't have that one on CD.

I was gonna say...slower speed film (to avoid graininess), LOOOONNNGGGG shutter speed, and larger aperture F-Stop. I love photography.

COOL PIC!

Wow! In Virginia! Up here they're usually just green, white, and maybe with a little purple on the edges (which is harder to get on film). But once, just once, I saw them red. Completely red, no green to go along with it. And not some kind of faded sissy orange, but dark red. That was really neat. Someone called 911 asking if the city was on fire, because the sky above town was red. Wish I had pictures of that.

I'll be in Maine by May 15th, I leave here in a week.

Good luck on your cross country move and your new job!
