An epic brew under the aurora.
Hands down some of my favorite footage I've ever captured.

More colors than I've ever seen in the sky! While my recent trip to Yellowknife was undoubtedly a cold one, it definitely didn't disappoint. This brief outburst was unlike anything I've experienced and made me (temporarily) forget that the temp was dipping below -30. These beautiful colors were captured in just a 1.3 second exposure.

This was on my first night and definitely made the longer than necessary trek worth it. After a delayed flight in Denver, I ended up running with my camera bag and backpack through the entire Calgary airport to try and catch my connecting flight.

Unfortunately, I got there just in time to watch it pull away from the gate. With no other flights until the morning, I got some rest anticipating a long night when I finally arrived. At this point, I had been waiting out on the frozen lake for a few hours without much activity. A small aurora pillar in the sky appeared and disappeared within just a few minutes. I tried to stay warm and kept waiting. Being that cold, it can be difficult to convince yourself to keep waiting it out, but I'm really thankful I did. A pretty amazing moment to have after a bit of travel related stress.

Cosmic Kona! I have to admit, this is probably going to be my personal favorite comet photo : ) During all my time scouting locations to take photos of Comet NEOWISE, I've been waiting to find the right place where Kona and I could get a photo together. When the opportunity finally came, Kona was ready and excited to go, even if it meant a 2AM alarm. After a bunch of planning and waiting for the right opportunity, I was so happy to be able to pull this shot off. This location had a bit more light pollution on the horizon than I anticipated, but I was able to place Kona and I in that area to help us stand out against the sky. I'm honestly so excited to add this to the list of photos Kona and I have been able to take together under the stars. He's got quite the portfolio of starry sky selfies : ) If you're new here, I'll share some of the older ones in my stories!

For those of us living further South, NEOWISE is slowly becoming visible after sunset. Another day or two and forward, will lead to better opportunities to see and photograph at night. If you're living in the mid to Northern latitudes, it's very likely you already have a great view at sunset. If you're living in Northern latitudes (47th parallel and above) and the comet won't dip below the horizon at night! I've updated my blog post with info to help you spot and photograph the comet at sunset. If you sent a question or comment that I haven't gotten back to,
