We were about to go to bed when Bob noticed someone on Facebook in our area posting about seeing the Aurora Borealis, so we got dressed and went out. It was very faint with the naked eye, but the camera picked it up with a long exposure. These were all taken at f/2.8. The camera may have picked ups more with my f/1.4 prime lens, but we left in a hurry without it - 7 October 2024

I wanted to go out and take better photos, but Bob reminded me that there were grizzly bears in the area - 6 September 2023
