I took this photo of the Northern Lights while visiting Anchorage in March of 2011. There are more dramatic photos of the Northern Lights in Alaska, just thought I would share this with al of you UHH Fans.
ISO 100
30mm
f/4.5
25.0 sec.
I had no tripod at the time so I simply propped my camera on a handrail. I really hope to take several more of the Northern Lights before they fade away, it's been overcast in Anchorage a lot recently. Enjoy! :-)

Thanks Graham, and William! Looking forward to taking more photos like this, was rather surprised that this photo turned out, as there is a lot of light pollution in the midst of the city, compounded with the bright reflective snow. :-)

Hey Bucko, that is an amazing shot. I didn't realize you could see the Northern Lights from Canada. I thought you had to be up the top end of Finland. Well done you :thumbup:

Northern lights are visible in the US as well. The most spectacular that I have seen were in Manitoba in January. They also "crackle" fairly loud if they are overhead. The Dakotas would get the same ones you see in Manitoba. However, on a trip going down to Canyon, Texas, my son and I observed a fantastic display. This was in Utah and it was early September.

Thanks for that information Don. I learn something new almost every day on this site - and it's not always photography. Great stuff, thanks again.
