Getting into the deep dark woods, it's not so dark with a large moon, reflected frost and the Northern Lights. It helps to expose for 30 secs at iso 640 too. copyright Mark A. Stadsklev 2005 www.alaskaphotopilot.com

Which is colder, myself or my shadow? Waiting for the aurora hour after hour, is like panning for color in a stream bed year after year. You know it's there but where and when you can't even tell yourself. copy Mark A. Stadsklev 2005 www.alaskaphotopilot.com
