Lake Ballard and Aurora

Gday All,

I was up at Lake Ballard (north of Kalgoorlie) for a weekend which turned out to be a very stormy 48 hours. on the sunday night things looked like clearing up so I left my storm observing spot and went back to the Lake hoping it would clear.

By the time I had got back and gathered my gear things were looking promising as far as clouds were looking so I mounted up what i could carry and headed out - mind you it was inch deep water and extremely slippery mud underneath that so had to be careful carrying gear that would not like the salty water very much if you lost balance.

About 30 mins into this (midnight local time) it was still quite windy and I was shooting test shots of reflections, the sub showed an intense red on the horizon...

I knew what this meant and started taking frames, unfortunately it only lasted 5 mins from when I spotted it but this is one of the best frames of the event.

Taken with a Canon 6D on a vixen polarie at 1/2 speed, 50mm lens @ f2.8 ISO 6400 for 30 seconds

Thanks for looking

Grahame.
