    very cool. I would love to see those some day. Looks like you are getting out taking amazing pics still. How are things going up there. Are you going to be able to come back to Utah?

    very nice! always loved the lights. good display that night, for sure.
    But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

    It is about 1 minute of footage for maybe an hour of pictures? Not sure, haven't done the math. It is a series of 30 second exposures on my SLR, then put together into a video. The lights are much slower moving in real time.

    Says the video is unavailable, when I click on the link it does not work either. But the photo is amazing. That's f-in' cool!

    That is simply amazing. It is definitely high on my list of things to do to get far enough north or south to see a display like that.

    Unbelievable. Absolutely beautiful shots. I neglected to post replies on your other Alaska shots (moose, wolves, etc.) but they are incredible too.

    One day, I wanna grow up to be like you.

    Saw one a few years ago in Northern Germany, but yours is really incredible.

    I used my 40D and rebel XT, took a few hundred photos, then blended them into a movie.

    Here's the last one I did, from Northern BC.
