I have a few thousand frames to dig through tonight. Just wanted to share something right away, because it's a little bit exciting.

I wasn't in the mood to head out and shoot tonight. I was tired to the bones after yesterday's outing, and the thought of leaving our cosy cabin to stand in the cold just in case things kicked off was marginal at best. But the satellite data was pretty convincing. And I knew I half decent spot to shoot from, about 10mins drive away.

I grumbled and made a fuss and got in the car and stood out there. Buzzed a buddy and he came to join too. And then it went off like a frog in a sock. Maybe the second best aurora of the season so far. Not fast paced, but very generous and very pretty.

This scene is taken with an 11mm F2.8 MF Fisheye by TT Artisan. Half decent lens. Tricky to tame that fisheye effect, hence setting the horizon as close to the centre as possible.

I remember reading an account of that story recently and something about it didn't seem right. I didn't share it at the time, even though I couldn't put my finger on what was off.

I'm sad that I have to be so sceptical about everything I read now.
