The challenge to capture a great Aurora Borealis image keeps me heading out the door after 10PM and it is usually cold, since we tend to see them more during the winter months. None the less, I keep heading out to practice. Admittedly I do not invest large amounts of time studying the forecasts or planning trips and locations for my Aurora Borealis images. Much of time is spent in a very rural area that has minimal light pollution and a variety of places to set up the tripod without venturing too far from the nice warm house. This last storm I didn't even know about until it was mentioned on the late news. Yep, I was that uninformed. While finishing the news cast I pulled all the camera gear out and got everything ready. After about two hours of standing on snow and ice, the storm started to fade a little and I decided the feet were sufficently frozen and it was time to head back inside. The next morning I reviwed the images and did some post processing work on a few of the images. One of my favorite images is the one included here. Something about the light trail from a passing vehicle added a little extra flare to the image. What do you think?
