Auroras and gibbous, low moon lighting up frozen lake. Pictures either Kodak EB100 push processed to 400ASA and 28/1.4 lens for about 6-20 sec exposures, or Fuji Provia 400 push processed to 1600ASA and 16/2.8 lens for about 8-25 sec exposures.

It was not a very bright display but covered a great deal of the northern sky from west to east. It appeared to drop down bit by bit from above. Canon G3, 200 ISO, f2.0 at 15 secs.

It was a deep but beautiful aurora. On one of these, we can see my friend Jean Chiasson taking a shot.

These are two photos from the March 9th aurora. They are from the same roll of film, but they look different. The first one was taken at around 9 pm, before the moon had risen. The second one is more of an aqua green colour, and was taken at about 11 pm after the moon was well up in the sky. Both were 30 second exp. at f/2.8 with a 28mm lens on a Canon A-1 camera. Fuji Superia X-TRA 400 film.

It's not every day you see auroras in southern Finland. -12°C and a very bright, almost full moon in the south. Pictures taken with Canon Digital Ixus 400, ISO 100, exposure 8-13s.

These auroras were photographed using my Canon Digital EOS REBEL camera. Exposure time 15 seconds at 800ASA.

Subtle waves, light to the eye, but the camera picked up green. About 8:30 pm.

l took these photos with 16mm, 28mm, 50mm, 400 asa, 20-30 seconds.

This was the brightest display in several months, although it was fairly short-lived. Taken with Canon PowerShot A60, 15 seconds at f 2.8.

These photos are from two seperate 'flare up' events, each lasting about 15 mins about 30 mins apart. Photo details: Canon S30 camera, most pictures are ISO400 equivalent and about a 5sec. exposure.

First aurora since last year; heavy cloud cover and not very active, but for the desperate anything goes! Taken with Fuji S2 Pro, 15mm f2.8 Sigma for 20 secs at f2.8 with ISO 1600.

I saw only a green arc without features. If I was more patient , I'd not missed a very good show that few of my friends , like Jean Chiasson , Daniel Tardif and Stephane Levesques photographed ~ 1 hour later after I left !!! photo details : 16 and 28mm @ f 2.8 , 20 sec , fuji superia 800

This is probably the brightest purple aurora display I have witnessed. Photo details: Sigma 15mm f2.8 fisheye on Canon Digital Rebel, ISO800, 3.2 sec. exposure.

Photo details: Ricoh XR-1; Fujicolor Superia 800 X-Tra; 16mm - f/2.8, 25 sec.

Again, I missed the most intense display - watched it from my car on the way to the shooting spot. What you see is just a later-on part of the great night in the sky.

The best of this show was when the green aurora arc broke into many parts and produce those beautiful moving lights. Details : Nikon Coolpix 4500, 400ISO, 5 to 12 seconds exposure.

Panorama of 4 photos from approx west to north east. Taken from my back yard. Nikon Coolpix 5400, 400 ISO, 30sec, F2.8

The auroras appeared for only a minute or two, just long enough to take one quick picture and watch them dance off across the sky. Canon G3 / F2.0 / 15sec / ISO 100
