Aurora and bioluminescence 4

I've just returned from a trip to Tasmania, and one of my goals was to photograph the Aurora Australis. I only had 2 clear nights out of 20, but on one of these I was able to capture not just an aurora, but also the beautiful blue bioluminescent glow of the dinoflagellate (plankton) Noctiluca scintillans in the breaking waves! Taken from Goat's Bluff overlooking Betsey Island south of Hobart.
