Aurora time-lapses - 14 November 2012

nobody@flickr.com (ßlϋeωãvε) — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:28:39 -0800

A couple of time-lapses of the recent aurora activity. The first sequence is rather short because I stopped it early due to cloud rolling in... and then the activity increased in brightness and colour so I started again until the battery ran out.

At 9 secs is the trail of the only aeroplane I saw going right through the middle of the frame - typical!

An enjoyable view in person especially while listening to some suitably ambient music to drown-out the noisy whooshing turbine blades. :-)

Artificial light dominates again

The turbine warning lights dominate but the aurora did put on a good show.

I was shooting time-lapse frames every 30s at ISO 1600 and didn't apply in-camera noise reduction so this frame was very noisy, i.e. don't look too closely! I've cleaned up the most obvious dead pixels.

He stopped there for a minute then left for home. The dog definitely didn't want a swim.

Snow/sleet showers kept passing over every fifteen minutes. A cheap way to get a white Canon L lens. ;-)

As found. This old engine part must have come from somewhere Highland Coos roamed.

There are traces of mink eating activity on this grassy rock, but I've not seen one in person since my first encounter many years ago.

To work with lunch in bag

I speculate that the bag contained his lunch. Might have been blue gloves inside.

I'd been walking alongside the loch in the bit the tide hadn't covered. The sun suddenly came out, I turned towards it and walked nearer to the water. And then I looked down and was struck by the juxtaposition.
