More Aurora

This time I ventured over to the beach of Great Slave lake and got some images with reflections. Bad part is this night was one of the blackest nights in a very long time, due to the moon not being out at all.

Got some down in Ft. Fitzgerald too, but you're right it was very black out. I compensated by cranking up the exposure an additional few stops and my ISO was variable between 2500 and 4000.

Just got in actually, they're still going.

You got a better camera then me then I only have a rebel xti. It's highest iso is 1600 and it's noisy to no end when I use it.

Still very nice images even tho they are dark .

If you shoot in raw mode you can easily bring that up - increase the sliders on the exposure by 2/3 or 1 1/3 of a stop to balance out the exposure. Levels in photoshop may also help, though I find too much creates too much chromatic noise and that is never a good thing.

Thanks for the idea, I do shoot in RAW. I tried bringing the exposure up in Camera Raw & PS but it just made to much extra noise. It was just the darkest night we've had this year I think.
