"The Knowledge Is Out There" Northeast of Calgary Alberta 20251112T0430Z This timelapse is made up of 276 images shot every 3 seconds, at ISO 5000, 1.3 sec at F2.8 with a Laowa 12mm mounted on a Nikon D810A(astromod). I am shooting at 1.3 to capture the movement of the aurora, and at 3 second intervals so I don't use up my memory in my card in case the aurora goes all night. Although I have backup memory cards, I am trying to minimize the amount of images that I take, on a typical night I am shooting somewhere around 10,000 images. I am at 20 Terabytes of images this year... this particular night, I shot 15,000 images. One of the toughest decision one can make when shooting reflection aurora is how much of the reflection can you get without missing out on the auroral pillars, there's 2 choices use portrait mode or use a wider lens, I choose the latter and use a Laowa 12mm, if the aurora is going nuts I use both options with a second camera. #Aurora #Auroraborealis #northernlights

"An Auroral Substorm" Highway 1, 4km West of the Cochrane overpass 20240804T0550-0630Z Substorms what we all want when we pursue the Aurora Borealis it's the juice that flows in my veins, and pumps me up like nothing else. There is nothing quite like it when you have been in the game for as long as I have. We have many, many disappointments, but that one substorm makes up for it all, this just happens to be one of those substorms! #Auroraborealis #Aurora #Northernlights
