I swear, your last two pictures look like they were taken at North Park.

Doug can't see your pic.
Jesse - sweet.
Snorvich - LOL, unreal, and I bet someone has bought some! The state of Alaska needs a few million tons. They've already canceled some dog races and move the Iditarod start even North of Fairbanks. The skiing and winter biking trails are horrendous.
On a positive note there was some Aurora last night. Not sure if my focus was off a tad or if the light breeze was moving the branches. Nothing spectacular, but it is recent photo I took in line with the theme

Thanks. Hm, not sure how often actually. North of here in Fairbanks its quite common. Probably most nights of the year when it's dark enough. That pic I posted, is a fair display. When it's really rocking it can be almost unbelievable.
The Aurora is most active at the fall and spring equinox for reasons not understood. Of course it needs to be dark to see them so we can't see them at all in the summer. If I had to guess I'd say they would be visible probably at least once a week. I don't know though. Usually they are the most active around midnight or later and then again in the 4 am to 6 am range. So, having a "real" day job the activity needs to really be up for me to go out on a work night. They can be as subtle as a dull pulses in the sky to as intense as huge curtains raging overhead like a tepee of light coming down on you. All depends on the suns activity, and weather. They are actually quite active in general but too often when the sun activity is up the clouds roll in and we miss the show. Such is life.
Ok, I haven't been following along all the time. Has the topic "back lighting" been done?

Bought my daughter a D7100 last week - today she had a snow day from school...so she's been sending me a ton of pictures.
Fortunately, my puppy loves the snow, so it gives her a shooting topic.
This one's a tad out of focus (looks good on the phone though) - something I'm not sure a 2.8 lens could pic up quick enough for the action shot. For the most part, she shoots everything in full manual mode, only with the RAW file, and tries to manual focus on still subjects. She's learning...probably getting better than me. :hmm2:
