Photographing the Northern Lights - The Greatest Light Show on Earth | 2023-04-09

Описание: Photographing the northern lights is easy. Photographing them well is not! While we mostly associate the aurora borealis with the arctic, this celestial spectacle can occasionally appear in the skies of mid- and low-latitude locations—especially now as we climb to the top of the solar activity cycle. Of course, if you’re doing deep-sky imaging this solar-powered light pollution can destroy a night’s work, but it can also offer a subject for stunning photos. This evening accomplished photographer Dennis Mammana will help us explore this unique phenomenon and share the basics of photographing it, and detail some of the finer points that can turn a so-so aurora photo into a great aurora photo.

Dennis Mammana has been photographing the northern lights for nearly a quarter century from the Arctic Circle all the way to Southern California. A long-time nationally syndicated newspaper columnist and author of six books on popular astronomy, he is one of only nine U.S. photographers ever to be offered an invited membership in TWAN—The World At Night—a team of the most highly-acclaimed night sky photographers on the planet. His work has appeared in many electronic and print media, as well as exhibitions around the world.
