Went chasing the light last night. Knew it would have to be an early night, but decided to drive out past Ester to the Parks Monument thinking that might be a good vantage point. It would have been, except for the clouds (first photo), so I didn’t even both getting out of my car.
Also, I’m having trouble figuring out how to get the f-stop (aperture) to set correctly. I sat in the car with the engine running for about 20 minutes watching for lights and trying to remember how to get to that setting on my camera. I’m excited for the workshop in two weeks that I’m taking on aurora photography since I feel like my progress is going backwards with regards to using my new camera. Those first shots were totally beginner luck, I’m sure!
Got home and after an hour went outside and notice faint lights from my house so geared up and ran to the yard. They aren’t magnificent shots, but at least I got a few with that rented lens. Also, I bought a remote to use and never even got it out. Silly me! It was so dang warm last night I didn’t really need it!
These are so bright. Â I’m fairly sure my settings are all wrong since the f-stop just read F—- instead of an actual value.
