No it's Rialto :)

yep!

I have no idea wth you guys are talking about haha

it's the name of the park ;)

I think early - mid sept was better, it started raining in Oct and it was hard to get clear skies. I'm going back late Jan - march that's also a very good time!

yes it does, this was shot in the arctic, not Glacier national park lol. While I do agree it's very faint where I live in Banff, the sky looks pretty much identical here. I take it you've never been to northern Norway?

no it's not the same at all because the aurora looks way better at a faster shutter speed imo. The longer it is, the more faded / blurry it looks, I find even 1 vs 4 sec made a difference so personally I never shoot auroras at more than 5-6s.

The sky looked pretty much the same tbh, but the mountains were much darker.

yes it's pretty much the same in person in the arctic! Not so much in Banff where I live tho haha. The season ends in a few months, so yes they will definitely be there. Just download a few aurora apps and don't look at the KP it's irrelevant there I've gotten this on a KP1 night. I look at the BZ mostly and cloud coverage.

the pool in front was a small pond and in the back it's the arctic ocean ;)

yeah that's the case back home in Banff, but in the arctic it pretty much looks like that! The whole sky got very bright it was something else.

yep!

the sky looked pretty much identical, except I changed the colours a bit but the rest was way darker.

It was literally like this every night when I was there haha

Aw thanks a lot! Literally 5min from the road, but that location is 3.5h from Tromso.

that is very kind thank you so much!

they were all sorts of colours! greens, blues, purples, pinks, white...

That night was a bit nuts, the sky was suuuuper bright. I think I shot at 1.3-1.6s max with very low iso, 1000 or less and f1.4 with my Sigma 16mm.

Thank you! It's something else to see it in person :)
