Northern Lights Dove

From back on the big Northern Lights show on Oct 10th. I was in Myres Big Island State Park in Minnesota. As mentioned previously, I had one camera pointed straight up almost the whole night to capture the Corona display.

To me, I see a dove in this. Though it's amazing the countless shapes that the Corona makes during the night.

Nikon Z6II
Viltrox 16mm f1.8 (My favorite Mirroless Night time lens)

All comments are welcome,

Jim

I'm with Alan. I would have liked to see more at the top of your frame, but coronas are my favorite bit of the northern lights.

I still think it looks like a tie-dye t-shirt. Something I would expect to see at a Grateful Dead concert :cool:
Hmmm.... Luckily I never went to a Greatful Dead concert, or listened to their music, so I still think it looks like a Dove and I don't see a tie-dye t-shirt. :)

Thanks Monika. The Corona is almost like a living thing. The camera is set up pointed up, I am not watching it as it's shooting, because it's on Interval timer. And even if I had, I couldn't have moved it anymore as there were trees there. I was between the lake and the forest behind me, so I couldn't have pointed it any further up if I wanted as all it would have gotten was tree leaves.

So I appreciate your thoughts, if I could have, I would have pointed it fully up.
