I had seen a good display of the Aurora Australis from Melbourne in April 1981 when the southern horizon was ablaze with an eerie red glow to an altitude of 20o, but I did not have a camera ready to capture it on film. However, since moving to Scotland in 1984 I had not given much thought with aurora photography until 1998 when I saw a weak display in the north over Dundee. Since then, and with the solar maximum in 2000/2001, there have been a number of very good auroral displays to capture on silver and on silicon (weather permitting of course!!). Looking forward to the rising coming solar activity and maximum in 2013-2014 for more aurora adventure.
Below you will find links to some of my images of displays of the Aurora Borealis and Australia.
