I am thrilled, amazed, simply completely beside myself with enthusiasm!!
For the first time in my life, I could witness polar lights – right in front and shortly also above my home 🥳
So after seeing Halos (regularly) and once also NLCs, with the polar lights my collection of atmospheric phenomena I wanted to see in real is now complete!
A huge thanks to by brother who pointed out to me on the telephone that “the sky is weirdly red”, whereupon I packed my camera equipment in record time and ran to the danube river. There I clicked, completely without an idea which settings I should actually use, the following images.
Note: Those are long time exposures. The real impression was by far fainter. Most of the time the colours were barely visible, only for a short period the red and purple were clear and bright. The green was always on the edge of visibility and more like a brighter region.
Anyhow I’m absolutely happy to finally witness polar lights🥳

The first images were shot with 25 sec, ISO 1250, F 5.6
From here on 15 sec, ISO 1250, F 5.0
For a short period they were even directly above my observation point.
