I think it's amazing that we had this event that could be shared by so many people around the world. It's also amazing the variety of settings that people used. I ended up shooting most, including a short time lapse, at 15 seconds, f/4, ISO 400 at 19mm. I really was wishing that I had something wider, but was thrilled with what I got. I'm working on getting a short put together to share some of these. The white balance is the part that I question the most, I shot with daylight to keep it consistent, but actually think I'm settling on something cooler, around 4000K or so.
It was a great event. I went for a slightly shorter time as I didn’t want Star movement in the images and planned on denoise to address the slightly higher iso. I’m hopinge get another event of a similar scale before another 20 years🤞
@@AndyHPhotography yes, I'm all up for another. It's only been 35 years since I had seen them in norther Minnesota. I'm no astro photographer, although I would like to try, but if you follow the 500 rule, you would have been able to get away with a 30 second exposure. Mine are good at 15 and don't show any trails, but definitely show some issues toward the edges due to the lens quality.
Great shots, I'm a fan of minimal processing on Light Room where possible. we've had similar night sky in Australia but unfortunately not near where I live, but that's the luck of photography🤣 enjoy your work.
Thanks Richard. It’s a pity you didn’t get to see them, hopefully next time. This was the first time I’d ever seen them she’s was acting like a big kid in the back garden much to my wife’s amusement
@@AndyHPhotography still off work unfortunately, I’m having some issues with my legs. I hope to be back to work Thursday and out with the camera again soon after that
@@paulwbakerphotography I hope you have a speedy recovery Paul and I look forward to seeing more of your great images, hopefully you’ll get to see the northern lights too 🤞
Fab video Andy and lovely shots. Would have loved to have seen the Aurora. What a special event👍😃
Massive thanks Richard. It was amazing to see it in the uk and something I never thought I would see without travelling to the Arctic
Beautiful Andy. Thank you
Massive thanks Chris 🙏😊 I hope you were able to see them too
Great shots, I really the one with the chimneys. Unfortunately it was tipping down here, so I totally missed the light show
thanks Gavin, but I'm so sorry to hear you missed it. fingers crossed for another one soon

@@craigpiferphotography the 500 rule is definitely a great starting point 👍

Nice images Andy. Well captured. Think I was asleep 😂
Massive thanks Paul. I think there may be another opportunity to see them soon in the uk
@@AndyHPhotography I read that, I’ve not been too well of late. I’ll look out for them
@paulwbakerphotography I hope you are feeling better Paul
