The Aurora Borealis briefly light up the sky above Winkie Lighthouse at the Point of Ayre. Despite the growing solar activity, it’s been nearly two years since I last shot the Aurora due to a mixture of baby duties and if I’m honest, downright utter laziness on my part. Being back out there photographing the lights made me realise I’ve become a wee bit complacent to just how spectacular they really are. The incoming clouds gave me a shooting window of about 5 minutes but what a special 5 minutes those were! I captured this image at 35mm @ f2.2 timing my exposure to avoid the lighthouse beams and random car headlights of people arriving to take in the show. Given the solar cycle activity, I suspect there’ll be plenty more opportunities to see the Aurora in the coming months ✨ #isleofman #iom #landscape #astro #aurora #auoraborealis #northernlights #astrophotography #lighthouse #nightsky #stars #nikon #z7 #primelens #nightphotography #nightscape #nightscapes #landscapephotography
