Southern Lights

Through cloud. (Conditions less than perfect with wind and cloud, but I did get something)!

That would have been an awesome entry into the challenge last month (colours). Got the whole rainbow there just about.

Made some pretty basic errors in setting up for this. I didn't lock the manual focus ring where I know that it's sharp at infinity. Need to tape it in place I think as it's easily bumped off the sharp spot.

Also the shutter speed was a bit long. Could have bumped the ISO some more for better detail but as it all turned out a bit soft anyway, I'll pretend that I like it that way!

Amazing colours there SS. How often do you get the Southern lights showing in the sky ?

Difficult to see with the naked eye, but reasonably often. There is a web site which does a forecast on the probability of aurora. Google Aurora Australis and you should find it.

What a stunning sight to witness and capture. The colours are amazing.
