The aurora takes many different forms, but what we really wanted to see were the curtains shown in all best pictures. Something like what this guy I don't know saw. We never really got that view, but we did get a few moments that hinted at it. This was one of those moments that came as we were walking toward the car to drive up the road a little ways. A very sharp streak appeared directly above us and lingered long enough for me to get this shot. Then it vanished.
That's one thing I didn't know about the Northern Lights until just the last year or so. They move and undulate and come in and out of existence, and it all happens very fast. A mediocre amateur photographer like me with middling equipment wants to set a shutter speed slow enough to get the glow, but a slow shutter blurs everything because the lights are moving so fast. I eventually settled on 2-second exposures as the sweet spot. This one was 6 seconds ... though I don't know now how I managed it, because I did this one by hand.

Ephemerals are here. I suspect, after this rain lets up in West Michigan, that the Dutchman's breeches are next. Come on SPRING!
Was more than a bit surprised when this bird landed in my backyard. I was fortunate enough to have my camera sitting close by and was able to capture a shot or two before he/she flew off.
Make a "sharp" photo today any way you interpret it, either tack-sharp focus or a subject that is sharp itself.
All of us are like Cactus in some ways ... when we are new at some things .. we are very sharp fresh and colorful ... and when we grow old at it ... though the sharpness is there ... we get a dull layer on us ... and the color goes off ... few of us try to get the colors back but some dont ...
@arun: This was something I was trying to click in the bushes that day
Well after trying for at least 3 weeks to even see this rare Asian breed (here in Vancouver, BC) ...I finally was able to view and take many shots. Unfortunately the sun wasn't my best friend here...(back lighting the subject)...but I'm not going to complain. At least I have a record of the sighting now.
The shots were also taken at quite a distance so I had to crop quite a bit into the shots to see the subject...again not a problem...and due to the back lighting I had to do a 1 stop over exposure to get some detail and not a dark blob.
Thanks for looking!!!
