Aurora

Aurora

Aurora borealis photographed in November 2003. A very active solar stream gave superb displays even at low latitudes. This shot was taken with a Mamiya 645 and 35mm f3.5 wide angle lens near to where I live. Film was Kodak E200 push processed to ISO 800. As a result the original is very grainy. Such a display has not occured since I moved to digital!

Aurora belongs to the following groups:

Astronomy and Vibrant and Vivid Color Available for sale as

    Hi, ragman – this was actually taken a few fields away from where I live – it was seen as far south as Greece! Examples from Armagh –
