Yellowknife Northern Lights

The Northern Lights over the waterfalls known as the Ramparts on the Cameron River east of Yellowknife, NWT, on September 8, 2019. The aspen trees are turning yellow on this September evening. This is looking northeast toward Perseus and Andromeda. M31 is at top centre.

This is a single exposure of 20 seconds with the 15mm Laowa lens at f/2 and Sony a7III at ISO 1600, blended with two light painted exposures of the same duration but with the water illuminated to make it more white. These add just the brighter illumination to the water. A mild Orton glow effect added with Luminar Flex.

The second image is from the trail down to Cameron Ramparts, taken earlier in the evening.
