Northern Lights, Shetland

My best, and only, shots of the northern lights. Taken this evening on mainland Shetland.

I'd jump in the car and go somewhere with less light pollution, but I've had a wee bit too much whisky:nono:

Ooooh, I'm so jealous.

Whisky is a wonderful beverage but it does preclude later driving...

I was out tonight as well, on the mainland though. Haven't processed mine yet.

I'm so jealous. The northern lights is something I've always wanted to see, but I live too far south to have any realistic prospect.

Also, nice to see what the Canon s95 can do (as I've just bought one )

[Spent some more time admiring this and now have a comment] Have you considered cloning out the telegraph pole on the left?

 

[dinners]

Very nice John.

Wow, I'm envious, its something I have always wanted to see, a lovely image .
I am going to Sweden later this year but have no idea if we'll be in the right area or even if they can be seen from there, some research is called fror I think. Thanks for sharing this.

Simply beautiful!!

Thanks all Hopefully there'll be more opportunities soon - now I know what settings to use I might manage to get a few shots before my fingers have gone numb. Canon S95, in the dark, with cold fingers is a little bit fiddly

Hi,

Hadn't really considered doing anything to it - if I get another chance I'll choose a different location if possible.

You'll enjoy your S95 - I take mine everywhere

Takes me back as I work in the Shetlands from 1980-81. Thanks for sharing.
