When I came home I saw my neighbour and asked him what he thought about the aurora.

Nb: What aurora?

That one over there.

Nb: Oh. I guess it’s too bright to see it, I guess…

No, that’s the aurora! 😂 Then I held up my camera and showed him the viewfinder.

That was in October 2024 in southern Ireland (South of Cork). I only brought my 28-200 f2.8… lens to go whale watching. We didn’t expect to get an alert from the aurora app during dinner. After a pint we couldn’t drive out of town so we walked to the harbour.

That’s a photo of my camera, made with the phone in regular auto mode, freehand. It was that bright. (I wanted to get the message out to friends quickly.)

Next time I bring a 360 camera. 😆

Never saw this kind of aurora so far south. (northern Germany)

Wir sind nicht gleich.

As a beginner I had only one lens (tamron 28-200) and a a7c so it was compact enough to fit in a hip bag from a motorcycle gear shop. Pretty comfy.

Now that I have multiple lenses I just tried a messenger bag and quickly get the neck pain. So I’m also thinking about a backpack and keeping the hip bag depending on the journey.

Awesome… lava lamp?

Is this one more to your liking? Single spot focus is what I use. For this one, sadly, I couldn’t get both in focus. (f/32 is all my lens got) I guess that calls for focus stacking but I haven’t looked into that yet.

Edit Oof, I over sharpened the bottom part. 😅 Shouldn’t edit stuff on the tablet in the car.
