Me watching an aurora corona display in Alaska’s interior. Canon 5D Mark III, Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8, 13 sec. @ f/2.8, ISO 1250.
If you follow aurora borealis activity at all, you have likely seen many pictures already posted on the web from the explosive northern lights display on March 17th. I was in Alaska’s backcountry on a ski trip, and spent a long night watching and photographing that amazing and colorful display. While I’m a little blurry in this photo, it was my self portrait attempt in the absence of any models.

Amazing, can’t wait to get up there next week. Keeping fingers crossed for good weather.
What, no handstand?
Steve,
The handstand is coming one of these nights!! That would require the f/1.4 not the f/2.8 🙂
Amazing!

The figure really adds to the image. Looks like you were lightly dressed for the season ?
Tuan,
First try I had my down parka on, so on the second one I went for a little more human form. It was about -6 degrees. So astute you are…

Patrick, I have tears in my eyes seeing this photo. You in the frame added so much to this most spectacular northern light display. Congratulations for the great shot.
