Aurora Borealis , Juneau, Alaska #3434

Aurora Borealis , Juneau, Alaska #3434

Last Saturday night, April 4, Juneau experienced a stunning display of northern lights. The best of the lights happened between 10 and 11pm. I showed up just as the lights started to dwindle away and hung out for a long time south of downtown Juneau next to the Douglas Harbor hoping for some additional night sky excitement.

Aurora Borealis, Brooks Range, Arctic Alaska #3432

Aurora Borealis, Brooks Range, Arctic Alaska #3432

In March I spent five days in the Brooks Range above the Arctic Circle photographing the aurora borealis. I shot this image around 11pm while temperatures hovered around minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The lights lasted for about four hours and I was in bed by 2:30am. The elongated stars are caused by the combination of the rotation of the earth and the long camera exposure of about 30 seconds. Thank you for visiting and the gift of your time. Enjoy - Camera: #Nikon #D850, Lens: # Nikkor ...

Lena Cove, Juneau, Alaska #3431

I took this photo of the setting full moon from the Lena Beach Picnic Site this Monday morning. Lena Cove is one of the best sites in Juneau, Alaska, to photograph the setting moon in winter and it’s one of my favorite spots to shoot the sunsets in the summer. The Forest Service recently renovated the site with much needed upgraded infrastructure. Thank you for visiting and for the gift of your time. Enjoy - Camera: #Nikon #D850, Lens: # Nikkor 24--70mm, Digital Capture, ©Mark Kelley
