Sunset colours looking east toward the blue shadow of the Earth rising and the pink Belt of Venus above it, constrasting with the pink wild roses in the foreground, the floral emblem of Alberta. Taken from the Battle Creek Overlook at Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, Alberta, July 7, 2014 with the Canon 60Da and 10-22mm lens. This is a high dynamic range stack of 5 exposures.
An all-sky aurora with green and purple curtains, the night of June 7-8, 2014, starting up about 12:30 and going until dawn. This shot was near its peak, from the old barn site near home in southern Alberta. The purple colour is partly from blue scatttered sunlight hitting the red tops of the auroral curtains. The Big Dipper is above the Barn. This was with the 10-22mm lens at f/4 for 15 seconds at ISO 3200 with the Canon 60Da. It includes me at the tripod and camera that was taking other shots at the same time.

This shot was near its peak, from the old barn site near home in southern Alberta. Foreground illumination is from the aurora and ambient sky -- the Moon had set. The Big Dipper is above the Barn. The purple colour is from blue scatttered sunlight hitting the red tops of the auroral curtains. This was with the 16-35mm lens at f/3.2 for 20 seconds at ISO 1600 with the Canon 6D.
