Finally got some extra time these days, as my more frequent photo uploading suggests. This is taken close to my home, a popular spot for nighttime photography, and more importantly - aurora photography. This location has been covered
many times before, but I've never shot it before with an 85mm lens. The auroras were weak and far away, so the exposure time was irrelevant. Usually we try to limit exposure time as much as possible to maintain details in auroras, but when they're this far away, it's all the same.
I'm in a photography limbo these days, and the past year or two actually. Only being able to take the gear out once a month has changed my approach to photography. I don't process photos nearly as much as I used to. I don't mind doing the most overdone cliches, I don't even try to make them better than the others - I'm so happy being out I don't care if my stuff is original or not. I'm guessing my photography has more to do with getting out of the house, than anything else. And gear aquisition syndrome. I may not be taking photos, but man do I love camera gear.
