With predictions of a fairly strong geomagnetic storm due to strike the Earth, I packed up my camera gear and headed to one of my favorite locations. Without mobile reception up there I had no idea what the aurora numbers were doing so all I could do was get setup and wait until it got dark.
This is the first time I have been able to see an aurora with my own eyes. Watching the rays and arcs flow across the sky was amazing. I have hundreds and hundreds of images from this wonderful night to go through. A crescent moon off to the right of frame helped light up the landscape during this single exposure.

Okay, don't mind me- I'm just going on a favoring spree of your Aurora Australis stuff.
One of my favorite things in the world are stars and the colors of the sky; so yes, this stuff is really getting to me feelings-wise. I cannot help scrolling through each one and staring at them for a few seconds.

how do you do the voodoo that you do? (ie: lens, camera, exposures, etc.) I'm trying to get into long exposures and would LOVE some advice!

It is an AMAZING shot my friend, kind of disappointed that I missed this opportunity myself. Thankfully CME's are quite common... I will get my chance!
GREAT SHOT!!!

I think this is the first Aurora Australis shot I've seen on DA. Mostly just people from the northern hemisphere witness these phenomena since there aren't much people on here that live far enought south to see the southern lights. Pretty impressive.

This is an amazing shot! I love it!
Umm, sorry, I was just wondering if you could tell me what focal length and aperture you used? Did you use a special lens?
I love photography and I'm trying to learn more about taking photos at night
