The original northern lights film image taken in the late 1990's (www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/30171286613) is considerably enhanced in this post-processed revision to bring out the colors by increasing contrast. The original image is from a negative (Etkapress with iso=640) that was scanned at 7200 dpi without modification.
Green aurora is common at high latitudes (Fairbanks, Alaska is 64N). So when other colors appeared, I often took a roll of exposures in a matter of minutes. In the age of film, the spectrum of color was not always captured or developed accurately. In this revision which occurred at the ending of twilight, I managed to record the top of the aurora lit by the last rays of the sun. That blue-purple is this resulting phenomena. Very occasionally, you can see yellow and pink in an Auroral display which are associated with only high solar activity as they are simply a mixture of red with green or blue.

Heavily retouched (down to individual sand grains in some cases!) to reduce noise and enhance the pattern. Retouching with Touch Retouch by Adva Soft. Recommended.

Said no one ever. But I did. And while it was a lackluster weather day, with rain showers dominating the skies, I was quite surprised when the sun and Union Pacific cooperated. Here a westbound has the light across the BNSF diamond and moves past the assorted industry and interchange tracks.
Took this while i was on a roadtrip with my girlfriend. Because everything in Basel, Switzerland was too expensive, we decided to hop over the border to France and explore the area a bit.

This buck did his level best to avoid me. When I first spotted him he was grazing in an open area in the hammock with a doe and her offspring from this summer. Rut is beginning yet he wasn't pursuing her just hanging out. Once he picked up my scent he slowly retreated into a densely covered area while keeping close tabs on my whereabouts.
