Aurora Australis Panorama

[CapturingTheNight (Greg)]

Hi all,

Of course, I had to do one of my usual panoramas during the brief aurora display for me on Tuesday night. Hope you like it.

9 vertical images panorama

That is superb, Greg!

[gregbradley]

I take my hat off to you Greg. That is just superb in so many ways.

Image of the year!

When you say 9 vertical images is that 9 wide angle shots gradually increasing the angle? Using a 14mm?

It works well.

Greg.

[iceman (Mike)]

That's a beauty, Greg. Nicely done!

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

That is incredible. Great work Greg, really inspiring

[apaulo (Paul)]

That is one awesome image Greg!

We had a great visual show with that Aurora and it was quite intense.

Excellent work!

Regards Paul.

[geoffsims (Geoff)]

Possibly the best photo I have seen all year? Seriously, INCREDIBLE!

And from NSW...!

I am in Sydney and this is enough to make me drive 6 (or more) hours south every time a CME is due to hit... is this the first time you have captured it from that latitude?

[pluto (Hugh)]

Not sure about image of the year but I really appreciate the great feedback. Thank you very much Greg Yeah, so what I mean by 9 vertical images is I shoot across the horizon but I have the camera shooting portrait style. It means you can get a lot more height in the final panorama image. And yes 14mm

Thank you so much Mike Don't give up on night scapes. I'll be completely honest and say that the images you have done so far with a DSLR are genuinely a lot better than my first shots by far. It's all comes down to practice.

Thank you so much Paul Yeah I saw that great photo you posted. Wish I was a bit further south like you for this one. If I get enough warning next time I might just keep driving until I hit Bass Straight.

Thank you so very much Geoff I got it the night before this night as well, but yeah, pretty much. First time getting it on camera. There has been 3 or 4 solar storms this year that I can remember that have been of the same or greater intensity and probably would have been able to be caught from this latitude but either weather or bright moon has prevented me from getting them.

I see. So you shoot portrait orientation and go sideways across the horizon. Makes sense.

30 seconds F2.8 14mm Samyang?

I am testing a Samyang 24mm F1.4 and it looks to be very good so far.

I am also interested in their tilt/shift 24mm when it arrives at market. It looks very promising and may be good for panoramas.

Yes it was. That thing hardly leaves my camera these days/nights. Love it.

That 24mm might be my little chrissy present to myself. Sometimes the 14mm is a bit too wide for what I want to capture and the Canon 20mm F/2.8 I have has bad coma wide open. So if the 24mm is as good as the 14mm when stopped down to F/2 - F/2.8 it will certainly be on the shopping list.

Stunning image Greg!!! Up there with the best panos I've seen.

Cheers,
