Yeah, what you see in these photos, are what I saw.

I took them like 3 something in the morning. We friends and I were hanging out, and one friend was about to leave and noticed it.

It was freezing cold out there -20 celsius. Somemore every shot also need more than a min. Was out there for a long time to wait for the right moment.

The aurora changes very fast. Looks different every moment.

I never imagined that I could see such photos from a non professional photographer! Or are you, TS?

Eye opening indeed and would like to witness the phenomenon for myself one day.

Nice sky brother... Too bad you do not have tripod with you to enchance the exposure...  biggrin.gif

Erm... I did use tripod and those shots weren't possible handheld with over 1 minute exposures.

How to improve? More than 1 minute? I donno lar... too cold to even try longer...
