  1. Got some shots of it by dJCL · · Score: 0, Redundant

    One of the things on my list of pictures to get on my new camera included Norther Lights(lightning and shooting stars are on that list still). Last night over ottawa we had a reasonable show, not too much sheeting, but good sky coverage(about 30%), green generally and some red. I got about 7 or 8 good shots with a 10 - 15 second exposure(looks better then real life). I'd post them, but I'd prefer not to liquify my server...

    Anyway...
