Hi Bluesky! I’ve been in a little social media lull because of how gross meta platforms feel and how TikTok feels a bit like a sham now. I’m not entirely sure where to go with my stuff but I still like it here at least :) #aurora #alaska #northernlights

Hi bluesky! I’m sorry for the lack of posts! I’ve been trying to learn some new techniques for shooting auroras which include a completely new work flow for post processing :) it’s tedious and i haven’t quite got it down yet, but these are the results so far! #aurora #alaska #northernlights

It’s just such a cool formation! Sometimes it’s hard to take pictures when the sky is so active like this but I really like this structure and I thought it was worth sharing :) #aurora #alaska #northernlights

It’s pretty wild how quickly these late night substorms can happen! this one popped out around 530am a couple nights ago :) #aurora #northernlights #alaska

Imagine waking up one night and looking outside while something like this is going on.. we are lucky enough to be quite used to them now, but I cannot imagine what someone not knowing what they are would think if they saw this just by chance! #aurora #alaska #northernlights

I thought this was really cool; the aurora on the morning of January first looks eerily similar to the drawings of the September 1770 event over Japan! It shows how intense the auroras have historically been & how valuable historical accounts (especially pre-photography era) can be! #northernlights

I’m trying my best to take more pictures I’m genuinely proud of rather than just taking pictures for the sake of content :) that’s sort of my 2025 goal; less mass-posting and more quality stuff! I hope you all enjoy this one! #aurora #northernlights #alaska

hi bluesky! the semester is finally over and I have time to work on aurora stuff again :) I have been out taking pictures and all a fair bit, but I’ve been writing final papers in the car while out so I haven’t really had free time to share stuff! I’m sorry! #auroraborealis #northernlights #aurora

Hopefully it stays clear for tonight! December has started out warm and cloudy; it’s even been above freezing which is wild for this time of the year! #auroraborealis #northernlights #alaska

I’m sorry I’ve sucked at posting, tis the season of finals.. so yeah mildly chaotic real life things are getting in the way of looking at pretty lights in the sky 😂 #auroraborealis #northernlights #alaska

new little secondary camera :) I’m excited to use it! I’m hoping to use it for some realtime auroras, time lapses, and super wide shots I can’t normally do on medium format! #nikon #camera #orange

Real time auroras :) I missed having the ability to shoot like this! Hopefully I can perfect the balance between videos and stills! I also want to do some “how I shoot auroras” videos in the near future where I can show my settings and nightly process! #auroraborealis #northernlights #Alaska #aurora

I’ve been aurora chasing about 10 years; since I was 18. This was the first time I got my parents a proper aurora :) they were here visiting for the start of the holidays and I dragged them out into the -20 to say hi to the auroras! #northernlights #auroraborealis #alaska #AK

One of my favorite places in the Fairbanks area! It’s really fun to take pictures in the deep snow above an old burn zone! #auroraborealis #northernlights #alaska #photography
