  • Today I'd like you to follow me on the adventure of a lifetime as I seek to capture the amazing Aurora Australis in all it's glory. This night was the biggest aurora event I've ever seen and possibly the largest for at least 20 years.
    What started out as a struggle to find clear skies quickly escalated into the most magnificent night that I've ever encountered as an astro landscape photographer.

    Wasn't that one of the greatest shows on earth?!?! It was everywhere for hours! 😃 Maybe it was courtesy of the spirit of Alyn Wallace to get the world excited about the night sky. ❤ Beautiful and amazing images as always Richard!🙂 Cheers to you!

    Richard, never have I seen you so animated during a nightshoot. Like a kid in a candy shop! The aurora does that to people for some strange reason. I'm so glad that night sky lovers from both hemispheres got to witness a part of history. This was officially the strongest solar storm for 21 years beating the Halloween 2003 storm. I just wished Alyn Wallace was still with us to witness it 💚 brilliant video

    Breath taking images. I went out that night after my aurora app went nuts and felt the same exhilaration. I hope it wasn't a once in a life time event, but if it was, I'm so glad I got a chance to experience it.

    You did better than I did...I couldn't even film a video, I was too flabbergasted by what I was seeing!
    It was a special night that's for sure! Never in a million years would I have thought to see them like that just outside the city I live in in Eastern Canada. The colours were incredible!
    2024 has been wild, Full Solar Eclipse, record auroras...what's next? (Hard not to think about Alyn)

    Superb video Richard, loved watching this, a spectacular show and I can really feel your excitement on location. Beautiful images and a once in a life time show indeed. We had an epic show in N. Ireland, best I've seen since 2003 and like yourself I can't believe how lucky I was to get a clear night. That isolated red beam in your footage away from the main aurora looks like SARS, often a precursor to STEVE. Fantastic vlog and hope you are keeping well.

    I was out on the field on that friday too... While my D750 worked like crazy, i just stood there, with tears in my eyes and watched, how it dances on the night sky.
    It was my very very first time to witness it, i still hardly can describe that experience, what i felt standing there. It was out of this world... 🥹

    Richard, that was a fantastic video!! So glad you got to witness it where you were. So jealous of the lack of people !! But at the same time I’m so very glad that so many people were able to witness such a spectacular event! The people who were parked next to Suz and I brought their kids out to witness it. They were not photographers. But they were in awe of what they saw. I didn’t get stunning compositions like you did. But very grateful for the images that I did capture. We were heading west when the notifications kept coming in so detoured hoping to capture it. I’m glad we did. I’ve never seen anything like it. Especially in Melbourne. So very glad to have seen your stunning images.

    My tears started rolling on that last frame. I'd like to think that maybe he helped color the night we all experienced. Certainly, if he was still with us, he'd have been a pretty excited guy!! Great images, Richard! If I ever see it again, I'm going to do what you did and keep moving through the night to capture different images and foreground.

    This was probably my all-time favorite video of yours. Your enthusiasm was awesome. I drove over six hours back home from my best friends funeral in Kentucky that evening and then jumped right back in my vehicle 30 minutes later and went out to shoot the Aurora in Southern Michigan, USA. What an absolutely amazing experience it was. Your photos were absolutely stunning. Keep up the amazing work. I look forward to your next adventure.

    The excitment in your voice Richard echoed mine exactly when I caught my first on the 11th May, I had no idea on settings as Ive never sought to shoot it before so I just left the camera on what I would normaly have for tracking apart from a shorter shutter speed but in the end if the pics didnt work it didnt matter I just felt so privelaged to have witnesed it in real time with the naked eye watching the beams come and go and the colours where other worldly, what a night, and to dedicate it to Alyn just sheer class, Im sure he would have loved it, thankyou

    Nice touch on Allyn. Bless him and you. Wish I could been there so exciting. So many great shots here in the USA. Down as far South as Key Largo Florida. My beloved niece and her husband sent me their Raw fillies to work on. They live in dark sky country of far Western South Dakota. Oh how I wish could have been there or anywhere away from light pollution here in Southeast Virginia. Just had my shoulder replaced on Wednesday. Maybe there will be another time. Great shots and energy Richard. Thank you again so much for sharing. Keep them coming.

    It was a Fantastic! night Richard. Great excitement, loved the movie footage of it. Like you, I drove for 5+ hours to get clear skies, which meant I didn't last all the way until daylight the next day but I was very happy I did the trip. I have seen a couple of big ones in 2023, the one on Dec 1st/2nd 2023 was a biggee as well. Your second last image has to be one for the history books and should be a great seller. A finally the tribute to Alyn, very well done as usual my friend. 🙂

    Richard simply magnificent photos, the panoramas of the Silos, its silhouette and the other photos are fantastic, it was a memorable night across the planet. On Friday morning, I and 3 friends moved 260km south to the darkest area of Portuga, during dinner, which was still daylight, one of my friends and I received an alert about the Northern Lights, but we didn't pay much attention because we thought they were only for northern Europe, when we arrived at our location to photograph (Noudar Castle) I was the first to take a photo and I was incredulous with the white balance that I had put on the camera, the entire landscape was Pink and Red, but no, it was really a gigantic Northern Lights that reached 37º Latitude, we stayed taking photos until the sun rose.
    Thank you for sharing this magnificent Southern night with us, a hug Richard. Beautiful tribute to Alyn 👏🙏

    A friend of mine and I, both avid Milky Way photographers, heard about the amazing aurora night and could see the aurora through heavily light polluted skies over Minneapolis, MN, USA. We drove west to find a composition or two or three. The aurora borealis was so bright that we started shooting about 20 miles from the light pollution center. It didn't seem to affect the images we were able to capture. We shot the aurora from several locations and were so excited that 5 hours of shooting went quickly! I captured terrific images. I had photographed the sun during the daytime prior to the aurora adventure. There was a large complex patch of solar activity below the sun's equator. As it turned out, the aurora was the strongest in over 20 years. Since we are nearing the solar activity maximum this fall (September), we expect there will be a repeat of the unusually strong aurora. The last one I saw near home was in 2004. This one was much stronger. In fact, we could see the aurora above us and even when looking south. Friends 250 miles south of us captured wonderful aurora images the same night.

    I love your obvious infectious excitement in this video Richard, and all the amazing images. Obviously one of the most amazing nights we will see. And where was I, on plane over southern India 😂😂😂. Thems the breaks, but the video helps make me realise how amazing it was. Love the tribute to Alyn at the end.

    It was awesome here in northern hemisphere too. Was great to be out under the night sky. Spent some time driving around too. Tried the next night again but too much forest fire smoke.

    Hi Richard!!! I could feel your joy and happiness, as the sky was on fire!!! The photos are just stunning! I know Alyn would love to have been there to see that!!! I don't know if you spotted it or not but you got a shooting star at about 8:25 on the timer. Look in the upper left corner. I looked to see if anyone else saw it in the comments, I did not read them all. From what I saw no one mentioned it. I hope I get to see this beautiful sky display at some point in my life time. That you for the video!!!

    Really glad you got out and into it that night. And really glad you captured your adventure and shared it with us. I don't know how you can take such stunning images and shoot the video and fit in a cuppa and a biscuit at the same time. Super human effort. It was a long night for all of us but worth it. I don't think I've seen you this excited ever! Beautiful understated tribute to Alyn at the end. Maybe it was all his doing!

      @@nightscapeimages.richard Yes I did, unfortunately where I wanted to go was going to be clouded out, according to the apps and a few comments I read from people that live out that way. I ended up going to a local beach, which was very light polluted, but still captured something. I still need to process what I got, just haven't had the chance. It won't be as spectacular as yours, my friend. But, by geez it was great being out there and seeing this show 😊😊
