Description

The night sky has countless gems to reveal, and when multiple gems appear at the same time I believe it makes for a very impactful and emotional image. On the night of June 22nd, 2015 a large solar storm was wreaking havoc on much of the northern United States. Here is a panorama from Reflection Lake location near Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park composed of over 15 frames at ISO 1600 using 90 second exposures with my D800 and 14-24mm lens at F/2.8 and 14mm on a tracking mount. This image captures pink aurora, green air glow, our Milky Way galaxy, and light pollution on the horizon at the far end of the lake.
