Special Edition: Auroras

Aurora 1 (looking west)

A wonderful treat to see the auroras down this far south (Olympic Peninsula, WA). We drove out to North Beach (just west of Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend) which has a view to the north (duh) getting there about 10 PM and staying for 2 hours. The colors were not nearly so vibrant until you did a 2 second time exposure. Some folks were using their cellphones as ‘viewers’ … which worked well. These were taken with my Nikon D-850 and Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 lens. I shot at ISO 3200 and f/5 or so.
