Details:
For a long time I wanted to catch a big Aurora show using a lens with a focal length longer than 14mm in order to be able to get deeper into the structure and to catch closer, the spectacular colors at the moment and after the impact. I guess, people most of the time as I do, go as wide as they can in order to get the whole show, to cover the whole sky but I think going up from 10 or 14mm into the range of 24 and higher up 80 and even beyond 100mm will put everything under a new perspective and you can discover another beauty of the Northern Lights. Of course you have to sacrifice the whole show for a small part of it but I think once in a while is totally worth it. The night finally came on March 2nd 2021, when the Aurora put a magnificent show on stage with four “mini pink sub storms” as far as I noticed in the area I was camping, and tried my experiment at 24mm…yes the predominant color for a while was pink in combination with different tones of green, yellow, orange and purple. Amazingly you can see structures developing and see the transition between these colors and how they were blending in…Was one of the most incredible shows I have been witness in terms of distribution of colors. …I cannot image how the show was couple of degrees North latitude around 60-63, I was located at 54.72 (March 02, 2021, Athabasca County, Alberta, Canada - D800, Nikkor 14-24mm 2.8, ISO 5000; 2 seconds exposure; f 2.8, 24mm)
