Finished! BOREAS DANCES ON TABLE ROCKS, 19x13”, pearlescent watercolor on handmade black paper. Depicting the May 10, 2024 solar storm over Upper and Lower Table Rocks in southern Oregon. What a night! (BOREAS, the Greek god of the north wind, is what the aurora borealis are named for.)
#PhotoMonday
Just started to upload my images of the historic auroral display from May 10-11, 2024.
Captivating, once in a lifetime experience, specially at our latitude.
Here’s one for the photographers: Anyone else noticed this ‘target’ pattern in their aurora pictures? I had seen it once before in an aurora pic from Iceland a few years ago, and this pic is a central crop of one from last weekend - noise rejection off. Anyway, I did some reading and this is an optical interference pattern called Newton’s Rings, and it’s quite common in aurora pictures, because the light is monochromatic (single colour/wavelength). (Contd) #aurora#newtonsrings#auroraborealis
We did manage to get a couple of #AuroraBorealis pics from Saturday evening in Red Bluff, CA. The show lasted but maybe 30-40 minutes. Not nearly as long as Friday. But it was still exciting. #photography#celestial
This will be the only image of the Aurora that makes my website I think. I specifically planned with a group of friends to meet at this location with hopes of getting the best images we could locally. I definitely think I did well. Extremely pleased with the results!
Many folks in the fediverse saw and photographed the extraordinary auroras over the weekend (it was a joy to log in and track the lights as they progressed around the world). In case you missed them, here's a @Flipboard Storyboard from CNN with a collection of images, including shots from Christchurch in New Zealand, Ormont-Dessous in Switzerland and Lake Berryessa in California. Our favorite photo? An incredible shot of a windmill in Aarlanderveen, the Netherlands.
Outside of GPS on certain tractors that impacted farming (at least here in North American), were there other #auroraborealis impacts to our technological world? Other than the slightly increased load to social media involving #aurora posts? Curious...
The solar storm that brought the auroras to many parts of the world this weekend also broke vital GPS and precision farming functionality in tractors and agricultural equipment during a critical point of the planting season, reports @404mediaco.
One chain of John Deere dealerships even warned farmers that the accuracy of some of the systems used by tractors had been “extremely compromised,” and that farmers who planted crops during periods of inaccuracy would face problems when they go to harvest.
The outages have highlighted the vulnerability of modern tractors to satellite disruption, and the threat this places on our food supply — something experts have been warning about for years. Here’s more.
On the way back I suddenly saw the full spectrum too, not just with my cam. Most likely because the spot was deeper in the valley and blocked the city lights.
🌌✨ Check out this stunning picture of the aurora I captured! Truly inspiring and a reminder of nature's magical canvas. Can you believe these colors are real? 🤩 #AuroraBorealis#NaturePhotography
The aurora put on quite a show Friday night! It was amazing to see the sky dancing with greens, purples, reds, and aqua lights! This is one of my favorites, taken at Flagstaff Lake in Eustis, Maine.
aurora over the farm the other night. took out the DSLR for the first time in awhile and decided to shoot in raw, which I also haven't done in awhile but I'm not unhappy with the results. #nikon#d750#auroraborealis#nebraska#farmlife
@mbonsma I know, so cool! This was better than what I saw back in 2018 when I was in the Yukon.
Check out a few images that I captured between Guelph and Kitchener.
