Outstanding pics and really interesting blog Phil
Watching an aurora is my dream too, I hope one day I will have an adventurous trip like yours and watch it
thanks all! i know i can take an ok picture occasionally but very pleased to hear you like the words too. it all seems very self-indulgent while writing it up!
not back in Oz for awhile yet, ski trek in the rockies starts tomorrow. then the real adventure with Kaz (my *very* understanding wife) in Scotland begins.. our first return visit there six years after i lived there for five years!
in the first week i'll be running a photography workshop for some of my old astro buddies over there before they completely run out of dark skies for the summer..
That top image is superb Phil. Quite an adventure you have had.
thanks Paul.. i think it will go down as my favourite from the trip and i plan to print it *big* for the wall at home. i wish i'd done more like this, although i was really committing all my equipment to timelapse. i didn't have any other nights where i could have got a shot like this anyway so just glad i did finally get around to trying some panoramas just when the time was right. i took a few at the same time but haven't processed any more of them.. my netbook has been procesing timelapse sequences pretty much 24/7 for the last few weeks and still has hardly made a dent!
It sounds like an Amazing (with a capital A) adventure! Reading about it was very enjoyable and I am sure the time lapses will be stunning - can't wait to see.
Cheers,
Alex
