I spent the first ten minutes of the aurora show watching them
while on my back in the grass in the front yard... then it
came to me: FILM THIS! So...
I went inside, trying to find that old Olymous OM-1n I used to
use for astrophotography - I found it!
Then... I needed a lens to put on it! Where was that lens!?
Running around like a madman, I found a 28mm f/3.6 wide angle
lens. Well, now you know what I needed? FILM!
SUE!? Do you have ANY film in the house?! She actually had a roll
of 400iso Kodak Royal Gold in the refrigerator! So, I loaded up and
went out armed for the show.
These are a mix of 30 second and one minute exposures on a tripod.
29mm f/3.6 on iso400 film. Enjoy!

I do not pretty web pages around them yet, but I will in
the near future. If anyone wants really high resolution shots,
let me know, and I will email them to you (warning 4MB each).
Clear Skies,
