The Northern Lights

File Under: Photography

In November of 2004, West Michigan was treated to a rare display of the Northern Lights. Upon seeing the lights for myself, I traveled over to a public ballfield, away from some city lights, to snap some photo's, using time-elapse photography. Now, since it's time-elapse, it looks like it's about sunrise, but in reality, it was more along the lines of midnight. None the less, it was quite the show, and it was fun to photograph. Here is one photo that best captures the "color explosion" in the sky.
