Definitely best viewed on black.
This is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to see the aurora and it did not disappoint. The aurora forecasts indicated the chance for a strong storm. So a few friends and I made the trip in the middle of the night on Jun 22 for a chance to see this.
I’ve seen so many photographs of the Aurora, but there is no substitute for being there. The columns of light were visible to the naked eye, it blew my mind. I thought I was seeing things.
It required a longer exposure to pick up the colors, as the color was not visible to the eye. This was shot at a longer focal length to keep the mountains prominent.
