3200 ISO was just too much to bare for the poor 50D in -40, underexposed 2 stops for the lights.

Taken at 400 ISO - a much cleaner image.

Iso 800 works great too

Very nice Dolphin ! www.spaceweather.com has a Valentines gallery if you wish to send them there !

[Karl Johnston]

I'd be interested in that, celestron, how do I go to submit? I added a few more for viewer's pleasure.

Wonderful shots! I have not seen the lights for almost a decade, last time I was up in the James Bay area.

We used to see them down around Ottawa once in a while, but it has been years.

[Karl Johnston]

Done! I can't wait to see if they used them :) and if I got a feature.

I sold 3 of the above prints already, so happy I can make a living out of what I love doing. It's always been my dream to show the world the beauty I see, especially the aurora.

You got your image on Spaceweather, congrats. I tried but got error messages all the time.
Valentine's eve was really great. It was even as high as 7 on the k-scale here. But then I was asleep :)

[Karl Johnston]

:D WOW I'm so happy ! I can't wait to show everyone I know this !

[Karl Johnston]

I'd just like to report a newspaper is doing a feature on these shots as a result of seeing it on the spaceweather.com website ! It really helped to put them up there, I'm getting emails from a bunch of other aurora photographers and meeting some really great people. My flickr is getting lots of traffic too!

They want to do a couple of pages on me as a photographer, to start, then maybe have me doing my own monthly column about adventures encountered while shooting. I'm really excited to see where it goes.

I'll see if i can take a shot of the article when it comes out and post that.

Thanks, Celestron, for showing me the link !

Beautiful Kajuah. I've only seen the aurora once before, almost 4 years ago in Northern Ontario, it was brilliant. These shots are awesome, I love them, and it's such a different world of photography - I would be so lost even beginning to try to photograph these. Congratulations on the article too!

well done , great news

[canonnoob]

it looks like there is some serious banding in the first and last one... maybe it is just me... anyone? Nice other shots though.. 3rd is my favorite...

[Karl Johnston]

Nope, that would be 6400 or 12800 ISO at work (typo on the iso 800) but hey, still better than 1600 the 30D was capable of ;)

[korrektor]

the first and the last one just blew me away... incredible and iso 800 seems to be working very well :)

[MidnightSun]

Beautiful shots. I always love seeing these things...:cool:Good luck with the newspaper endeavor....
