Phew, was worried I wouldnt see the aurora, but 2 nights ago, my dream was fulfilled.
Headed out about midnight, when a greenish tinge was being seen on the N horizon, and after I found a spot and set up, the action began!!
Started with green bands seeping across a large section of the sky, then started going up in vertical shafts, stunning!! Took heaps of pics, and will attempt a little movie at some stage.
Very happy girl now, though I may see some more, fingers crossed!!
HAd trouble with my Tokina lens, so ended up buyimng another Canon 17 - 70 mm, though havent had the chance to use it yet. The guy at the camera shop here said to bring the Tokina ijn for him to have alook at. The pics I took with it had streaks, at the bottom of the image, and alarge rim at the side.
Anyway, all good, cathc the Aurora Train to Anchorage onf Sunday.
