I've never posted an image like this before, the colours are mental! My husband lit the Longstone with a torch as the sky erupted in pinks and greens. This is in the darkest part of the Island which is campaigning for Dark Skies Status, so there was no light pollution.
The colours were visible to the naked eye.

@sharongascoigne i think you have created this image beautiful using the remini application.

@backoffice080 No, it was shot RAW and processed in Lightroom.

Not by me I hasten to add, but by my husband. He's worked in photography for over 30 years. In a professional darkroom, as a photo journalist and for the last 23 years as a landscape photographer.

He's never photographed the Aurora until yesterday, it was something he never expected to get the chance to do. It was amazing!

@sharongascoigne Great shot.I live in the sub-Arctic in the land of the Aurora. It's rare sight to see all the colours of the Northern Lights at once. Just wondering if they put on a dance for you? When they swirl and dip and dive they are mesmerizing.

@miki_lou They did, very briefly.
What a privilege to see them regularly. I think it might be a once in a lifetime event here in the far south of the UK.

@sharongascoigne so cool! Out of curiosity what is the exposure time here?
Show threadSharon GascoigneMay 12, 2024
@Clef I'll have to check but I know it was anything between 6 and 30 seconds depending on the brightness in the sky.
