Aurora hunting
Not a successful aurora hunt, but there was at least a hint of colour to the south. After watching in amazement today some night time video from North America showing wonderful green aurora on a livestream webcam in Duluth on Lake Superior, I was hopeful the good conditions would continue into our southern hemisphere night, but it was not to be while I was out there. Still, it was a good chance to get out with the new 16mm lens and see how it performed. On the R10 body used here, it is about a 25mm equivalent. Quite happy with it for such a cheap lightweight lens. Keen to try it now on the full frame RP body.
The foreground trees were totally dark in most of my attempts, but this one caught a car driving behind me and lighting up the trees with its headlights and I thought it added a little more interest.
Taken on the southern rim of the Blue Lake in Mount Gambier, South Australia.
