I've been amazed by aurora since I experienced it for my first time in September 1998, driving through Canada on my way to the state I've called home ever since. It wasn't until 2015 until I purchased my first serious camera, and realized I could capture these beautiful moments of time. I picked a great time to start shooting aurora, near the peak of Solar Cycle 24. Featured here is the corona during a significant solar storm on March 17, 2015.
At the time, I was in my early stages of learning photography, proper exposure, and editing skills. Thanks to the advances in technology over the past decade, I was able to salvage this photo.
