Was one of those nights last night. 5 hours of shooting. Hard drives are full. Left knee is killing me.

Totally worth it.

Arctic style disco lights, and the moon turned into a star.

Captured with the TT Artisan 14mm F2.8. Very compact little lens. Plenty of optical blemishes, but at this price who cares. Fun and compact. Good companion for the Lumix S9.

Thankyou! Just a marvellous evening on a marvellous planet :)
@ewen That's an absolutely awesome photo!
@norberteder

I usually avoid starbursts, but this one kinda feels like it belongs :)
@ewen Thats an amazing capture! I do appreciate the moon burst, adds a special feel.
A couple of weeks ago we had some northernlights down here in the south of Bavaria as well, but what you experience up there in the North is very special. Thanks a lot for your effort and for sharing these spectecular moments

I think it was Jan 19+20 when the big ones rolled through? KP9 or something crazy! I missed the first night, but caught the second after landing back in the north.

I'm so lucky to have a chance to capture these moments through the winter. I feel that each time I get to hang out with the Nordlys I get to them a little better.

Thanks for dropping a note today, I feel encouraged to keep sharing :)

If not for the magnetosphere surrounding our planet, we would be crispy morsels of atomised carbon! Instead, we get disco lights in the Arctic!

What an amazing planet we live on.

And the idea (evidence coming later) of other just as amazing #exoplanets 😀
