Northern Lights [Nature & Landscape Photography]
Uploaded: June 26, 2013 14:21:58
I was not able to get a night shot. It was either clouded over or foggy. I was so hoping to catch the Super Moon. I do this kind of photography often, however, and here is one of my best of the auroras. It was a 30 second exposure on a tripod using mirror lock and the 2 second delay. Aperture was f/2.8, 1000 ISO, at 17 mm using the EF-S17-55/f.28 lens.
Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 30/1 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1000, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 17.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 60D

Beautiful capture Karen. Seeing the northern lights in person is definitely on my shortlist! #1533854Karen L. Casebeer June 27, 2013
Thank you, Carol. It's a peak experience for me. Luckily, I live in an area where I occasionally get to have these opportunities a few times a year. #10746155Carol Eade August 01, 2013

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
