Mt Wellington Aurora with Sunset
First cab off the ranks from the aurora on Tuesday 25/10. I decided to take the gamble on heading up the mountain for this one as the temperature and wind conditions didn't look too bad.
We arrived as the sun was setting and with no cloud on the horizon the suns glow lingered well into blue hour.
As usual I didn't have a composition organised, so we scrambled around the rocks looking for something good. However, it wasn't long until the lights fired up and I made do with where I was.
I like the more "subtle" aurora with a variety of colours and awesome beams combined with the last of the sunset here. I have more shots with a much stronger aurora which I will share, but I think this still holds its own.
What a night!
