Very bright aurora were visible on my flight from LAX to Heathrow. I always keep an eye on the possibility for aurora before this flight and pack the camera if there is a good chance. Canon 1D Mark III, 24mm f/1.4L, f/1.4, ISO 1600, 2" exposure.
Tonight, it was a beautiful night to go in the toundra and on the ice to take pictures. Details : Canon EOS 30D, 15 sec., f3.5, 800 ISO.

The aurora was out all night, but around 2pm it got quite active, the best display this year. The lights were moving so fast accross the sky, it was hard to keep up. Nikon D3, 14-24mm f2.8 and 16mm fisheye. ISO 1600 3-1.6 secs.
We're in Tromso on Holiday and the Aurora were really active last night. This was the first attempt at aurora photography and I think it came out pretty well. Taken with a Canon 350D, 15 second exposure. Thanks to Tromso tourist info and Agnetta at the Family Park (loved the waffles!).

We had to drive slowly behind a family of moose (who preferred to jog along right in the middle of the road, instead of going to the left or right...) to get those images! It was an impressive show! Photo details: Canon EOS 350D, ISO400-800, 20-30s exposures.
Quite a nice day starting with beautiful nacreous clouds over the eastern horizon, and ending with the best display of northern lights we have seen in a while.

Major geomagnetic storm! Rapid, millisecond changes in colour, flowing like blowing snow through a forest, or river eddies. I've never seen anything like it - flickering pulses coming over >75% of the sky like sheets! Unreal!
