Aurora Borealis

A few nights ago we were treated to an amazing display of the aurora borealis, looking up and seeing this was an amazing experience.
I thought I would share a few of my shots from that night:

I only heard about it yesterday on the radio, but apparently I was in with a chance of seeing it the night before in North Wales. ??

So jealous got the amber alert email from auroawatch but it was cloudy if only if jumped in the car and driven to the coast apparently it was clear there. Great pictures mate. What sort of exposure time you use?

Most of the shots I took varied between 5 and 15 secs and keeping this ISO at 400 or 800. A few nights before this I tried it at ISO 1600 and won't be making that mistake again. Way too much noise.

People were seeing it pretty far south and had some amazing photos.

That's absolutely stunning! Had a look last night but nothing. Stunning photos! That is for sharing them!

Fabulous pictures. It wasn't far enough south for me, and anyway I didn't know about it, but those shots are something special. Great work mate.

Where is the second pic, Andy? It looks very familiar but I could be wrong. Fab pix, all of them.

Now that aurora season is back for us in the far north I thought I would revive this thread with some new shots of the aurora taken around where I live.
