This morning I had the pleasure of capturing Aurora Borealis, otherwise known as Northern Lights. Tonight, if cloud cover doesn’t get in the way, should also be a great night to see some of the most beautiful natural features that we can see here on Earth.
The other day I had the opportunity to head over to the North Shore and up to Split Rock Lighthouse. We got there just before sunset, about 8:30, and as I started to walk down the path I felt a few raindrops hit me. As I got down by the boat landing I decided that I had better put a rain sleeve on my camera and capture a few images as quickly as possible. I was able to capture this as a 5 shot HDR image that I processed in Lightroom, Photomatix Pro, Photoshop and Nik Software’s Dfine 2.0. Capture was done in Aperture Priority with a Nikon D700 and 80-400 Nikon lens.
