Reflections of the Northern Lights in the calm waters of Madeline Lake on the Ingraham Trail near Yellowknife, NWT on Sept 7, 2019. This is one of a series of “reflection” images. The Big Dipper is at left; Capella at far right. This is a single 15-second exposure with the 15mm Laowa lens at f/2 and Sony a7III at ISO 800.
The fine colours of the aurora in the darkening twilight over Madeline Lake, near Yellowknife, September 7, 2019, with autumn colours on the trees on the far shore. The Big Dipper is at left. This is a single 15-second exposure with the Sigma 20mm lens at f/2 and Nikon D750 at ISO 1000.
Aurora reflected in the calm waters of Frame Lake this evening and arching over the Prince of Wales Museum in Yellowknife, NWT, on Sept 5, 2019. The Museum exterior is lit by rippling coloured LED lights that mimic the aurora. The Big Dipper and Ursa Major are above the aurora. The arc of the Lights was brighter earlier on this evening but had faded by the time I got set, but came back somewhat, as I shot here. I shot this from Somba K’e Park. This is a blend of a 8-second exposure for most of the scene, with a 0.25-second exposure for the buildings and flag avenue at right, to reduce the glare from the lights and retain details. All at ISO 1000 with the Sigma 20mm lens at f/2 and Nikon D750.
