Aurora borealis reflects in the Koyukuk river, Alaska. Canon 5D mark II, 24mm f1/4L II, 30 secs @ f1.4, ISO 1250
The arctic photo tour I’m guiding was off to a good start on the first evening as clear skies eventually revealed some aurora activity. What was particularly interesting about the display was not it’s brightness but rather the color reflection in the Koyukuk river. It’s been a busy few days and hopes are high for some polar bear photography.
Really beautiful shot. This reminds me of that perfect night when our group caught the aurora by the lake at Wiseman.
Great shot, Patrick. Brings back wonderful memories of our trip with you and Hugh 4 years ago … would be happy to repeat that adventure any time.
Kathy and Karo,
So far the trip has been great and I’m sure you both would enjoy the sights and photo ops.
Absolutely beautiful!!! I’d love to see one of these in person one day! Sigh…
Jaimie Dee, it is a sight worth the energy to make happen.
