Northern Lights + Full moon

[TravelingChick]

First try photographing the northern lights. This was in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.

What you don't see are the polar bear guards. Men and women with rifles and bangers looking for polar bears in the dark while we looked at this amazing display.

12mm f/2, starry sky AF, ISO 2000, .5 seconds

Superb colours and light patterns...Well caught..

These are much more like the traditional northern lights - love the ribbon effect. I looked it up and you were well North, although not as far North as the Arctic Circle.

Well done!

Excellent capture.

Hm, Polar bears means that it's not one of the warmer regions on the planet. 😬

Wow nice shot with the moon.

The idea of doing some astrophotography being chased by hungry polar bears does sound quite exciting!

Great stuff, but I can't see any bears!

[TravelingChick]

It was dark. We didn’t see them, either. 😉

Bear pictures coming soon….

Beautiful place! Lots of safeguards and protocols in place for the bears.
