Autumn Aurora Over Mt. Katahdin – From Fall 2015

This is one of those shots that I’ve been dreaming about getting and I was lucky enough to have it all come together on a night last fall in Maine! Nikon D810A, Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. This is a blend of 3 exposures, one for the sky at ISO 12,800, 6 seconds, f/2.8. One of the foreground exposures was at f/2.8, ISO 1600, for 15 minutes, and another was at f/4, ISO 1600, for 20 minutes. These foreground exposures were used to get detail in the trees and mountain. The aurora was moving so fast that I had to use a relatively quick shutter speed for the sky, 6 seconds was about as much as I could do without blurring the aurora too much and losing detail in the spikes and curtains.
