SM7_1655a Northern Lights Wtrmk
I woke at 4am to see that satellites indicated that the northern lights storm had just started, which meant that I had roughly an hour to get outside before they showed up. Thankfully, the spot I had picked the day before for this was just 7 miles away and my camera gear was all ready.
This storm wasn't the brightest, but it was one of maybe 4 times in 23 years that I could see the reds with my naked eye. That also meant they often overpowered my camera's sensor.
The moonlight didn't interfere with this show, but gave some lights to the foreground. And the lake I took these pictures on had very little snow, giving me opportunity to see some reflection.
Waiting for the storm the night before on this lake, I didn't see lights, but did hear the lake giving some very impressive ice quakes.
In all, it was a great way to start the morning.
