We've been getting some pretty nice auroras since mid-August, but September first was the first really big light show that I've seen this season so far

Yeah; you get a very narrow window of about a month and a half to try and capture some aurora reflections in the water of the lakes around here before they freeze

Pictures are great, but nothing beats watching them dance in person!

I watched the aurora on the same day down here in alberta for the first time and I have never been so immersed by something natural. It was incredible.

It only lasted long enough for about one shot, so luckily it turned out! They were dancing that night.
