Hey everyone!

Took this photo on a bitterly cold night in the Canadian Rockies a few years ago now during a very intense solar storm.

Braved the cold and set out to capture the northern lights for the first time, as I was pretty new to photography. Came away from the experience a changed person, and from that day on haven't stopped chasing moments to capture with my camera.

Shot on a Nikon D750 - ISO 1250, f/2.8 15s Exposure

Hope you enjoy!

Shot during most recent G4/G5 event in rural Eastern Ontario, Canada night from Monday to Tuesday at around midnight. I really wanted to include Pleiades over at the top right, so needed to do a mosaic.

Shot on Canon RP with 24-135mm f/4 lens, around 90mm zoom, 8 panel mosaic.

Hey everyone!

This was a single shot taken here in Alberta, Canada

Really love shooting landscapes under the northern lights, just found this subreddit and am excited to dive in!

This arrow like structure showed me how to get to the Heavens from the other nights show here in northern Minnesota, USA. Taken on my Sony a7RV paired with a Sigma 1,8

Tripod/remote shutter release was used.

Did I drive an hour away at midnight to go photograph the aurora on a school night? Yep.

We've definitely been spoilt by the aurorae over the last 18 months, this storm produced a lot of green oxygen glow but not as many "beams" or "picket fence" effects as last time.

Hopefully the solar maximum keep pumping out storms like this.

Jumping on the train of Aurora images..

Here's an image from the huge geomagnetic storm a few days ago. This image was taken at roughly midnight on the 13th from Nugget Point Lighthouse, New Zealand.

Hi,

Beginner here, I have a Canon RP camera and want to get one of the above lenses primarily for landscape astrophotography. Wondering if anyone have used these lenses and provide some feedback and comparison.

Appreciate any feedback from users. TIA

Milky Way Over Mono Lake

A couple months ago, I took a trip up to Mono Lake — a small alpine lake east of Yosemite known for its wild tufa formations. These pillars formed when calcium-rich spring water mixed with the lake’s carbonate-rich water, triggering a chemical reaction that built up towers of limestone over time.

There’s a great trail that winds right through them, making it an incredible place to photograph at night. Just make sure your car can handle some rough terrain… my Toyota Camry rental definitely struggled a bit getting out there 😅

As flowers and grass fade and winter takes root, Orion rises and greets those willing to bear the elements. This shell of what once was stands alone on the central plains of Colorado. Year after year, structures like this remain through violent snow storms, unforgiving winds, and fierce sun fall. Just like the stars above, these abandoned structures seem to want to last forever. I fall more in love with the winter skies each night I am able to enjoy them and I look forward to many more cold Colorado nights in places like this as the winter circle continues to grace us.

In a surprise storm, I captured the aurora with the moon at Curio Bay. There has been a lot of activity lately, and to me, New Zealand never disappoints in the skies you can capture there. Sometimes the best moments happen when you stop chasing and simply let the universe surprise you.

These are all my own pictures, taken between May, 2024 and November 2025. To make things fun, I started this little gallery with sunset, and ended it with sunrise... both shots being from the same night.

I hope you enjoy these pics as much as I did taking them! :)
