Image Description: |
With expectations honestly of nothing, I arrived at Mono Lake on Friday ahead of the predicted extreme G5 geomagnetic storm. As darkness fell, I could not yet see anything with my naked eye (I honestly didn’t expect to at all), but my cameras had begun to register unusual color in the sky starting with just a vertical red band right where the moon was stretching directly overhead - far further south than I thought would ever happen given that I was in central California. I began running around shooting different compositions, with many other photographers also at the South Tufa of Mono Lake. It had been stormy earlier in the day in parts of the Eastern Sierra, and the sunset had been spectacular. The slowly dissipating clouds lingered nearly stationary in the sky. The sliver of a moon, only 7.8%, was enough to impart some light to the landscape along with the growing glow to the north. When I clicked the shutter on this frame the faintest glow to the north was becoming visible, and the camera detected a whole spectrum of color in the night sky while the moon was blocked behind a cloud. A satellite high in the sky momentarily reflected a little sunlight. I’m still in awe of what I would see as the night unfolded, and this was a tremendous start. My first time ever seeing the Aurora. My expectations of nothing were infinitely exceeded. |
