Flying between Canada and Greenland last week, I managed to capture the aurora as dawn was breaking at around 2am 😎

Keep an eye on the sky this weekend. You might catch sight of a few meteors, like I did in this 360 (look up!) that I shot near Christchurch while shooting an aurora several years back 😎

360 shot of the Aurora Australis from near Christchurch, New Zealand on the 29th September 2016. If you look up, you will see a meteor which I was lucky enough to capture while making this. The blue-green colour suggests the presence of magnesium in the meteor heading toward the Milky Way. Click on image, zoom out and move around :)

Hand held shot of that pesky comet hurtling towards Earth about 5 minutes ago. Shot in the middle of Wellington with the light pollution at 16000 iso, 1/3 second exposure with a 70-200L IS f/2.8 and a 1.4 convertor, knocking it down to f4.... We are all doomed!😟
