On New Year's Eve, my buddy
and I decided to be adventurous
and try winter camping for the
first time with the intention of
watching the fireworks from
4000 ft. After a few hours of
hiking we reached the peak
as the cold winds grew more
intense. We were getting cold
quickly, so we rapidly looked
for a flat spot to set up the tent
and began digging our base. As
soon as I had food in me and
warmed up, I told myself I was
not leaving that tent and soon
passed out! My buddy woke
up around 3 a.m., and lo and
behold, those blustery winds
helped blow the clouds out to
reveal the aurora swirling over
the mountains. It was one of the
most beautiful sights I have ever
seen. The aurora appeared to be
flowing out of the rock outcrop.
At that moment I decided to
brave the cold, grabbed my gear,
and set out to capture a few
photos. It ranks as one of the
best New Year's Eves I have ever
experienced!

In early February a warm
weather spell had caused some
of the spring-fed streams of
the Knik River Valley to be
ice free. This exhibited good
potential for the aurora to reflect
in the open leads and pools of
water. A bright moon lit up the
valley, and just shortly after
midnight a faint aurora band
started to build in intensity. I
was trying to guess just where
the aurora would appear in the
sky so I could match it up in
this reflection pool. Because I
needed to commit to a location
to shoot a time lapse, I did not
have the flexibility to relocate.
This meant I needed to predict
the next several minutes of
aurora accurately to get the best
video clip. After 30 years of
photographing the aurora, my
guesses have gotten better, but
the aurora still often surprises
me by frequently moving
unpredictably. This time my
educated guess worked out
well, and the aurora flared up
and did its dance beautifully as
it reflected the brilliant green in
the pool of water!

During an aurora photo tour
on the eve of St. Patrick’s
Day, we drove for many hours
through blizzard conditions
along Alaska’s infamous ‘Ice
Road,’ which, at times, appeared
one-way between snowdrifts.
There is a very small stretch
along the road where the trees
are covered in hoar frost as the
humid air blowing up from a
river in the valley below gloms
onto them. The effect creates a
frosty, winter wonderland, and
the stars magically appeared as
we approached this spot! Good
fortune gave us a 40-minute
window of mostly clear skies in
the wee hours of the morning.
We had been dreaming of shots
like this for years, and it was
the most beautiful aurora event
we ever photographed. The
following morning we learned
that almost the entire state of
Alaska was under clouds. When
you are feeling overwhelmed
with life, look at this picture,
close your eyes, and imagine
being enveloped by a blanket of
snow while colors of peace and
serenity dance above you.

Alaska’s springtime delivers
a lengthening twilight during
which the rich blues of dusk
blend with the emerging stars. In
this dramatic view on the fringes
of Denali State Park and Denali
National Park and Preserve,
dusk silhouettes the lofty
summits of Mt. Foraker, Hunter,
and Denali. Overhead, a vibrant
lavender-laced auroral curtain
shimmers above these iconic
peaks. Rare, colorful bursts
of sweet light like this appear
often quickly, mingle for mere
seconds, and then fade away.
Traveling far off the road system
can unveil broad views of the
Alaska Range, but scouting and
finding photographic locations
like this require planning and
effort. In these often exposed
areas, the north wind is
brutally cold and tests one’s
endurance, determination, and
perseverance. On occasion
however, most exceptionally
during the long nights of
winter, extreme patience and
perseverance prevails, and you
are permitted a “gift.”

On a March evening in the
Alaska Range, a friend and I
frantically donned skis as the
aurora erupted above us. We
knew that the night’s success
depended on several elements
falling into place, one of which
was already happening earlier
than we expected, so we quickly
threw our camera gear in sleds
and started skiing. The aurora
faded away upon our arrival at
the glacier cave, so we did what
all aurora photographers know
how to do well—wait! For three
hours we patiently peered out of
the glacier portal at clear skies
beautifully framed by icicles
formed under the daytime sun.
About 1 a.m., we ventured
further into the cave to assuage
our boredom and explore. When
I returned to the entrance to
get my tripod, I looked out to
find the aurora swirling over
the mountains. I shouted to my
friend to hurry, and we hastily
grabbed shots before the aurora
shifted directions and was no
longer visible from inside the
cave.

In February 2019, I ventured
north from Fairbanks on
one of my annual solo trips
to photograph the aurora in
Alaska’s Brooks Range. Making
these travel decisions is always
a gamble when trying to predict
ahead of time what the weather
hundreds of miles away might
be, but it looked promising. In
addition, I was encouraged by
the aurora forecasts that were
predicting a 50% chance of a
G1 minor geomagnetic storm.
With help from local friends
in the area, I made three ski
trips in to this remote mining
cabin in order to transport gear
and establish snowshoe trails
in the very deep snow that
had accumulated. At 2 a.m., in
temperatures well below zero,
the sky exploded with dancing
aurora. My friend and I stood
in awe as colorful coronas burst
overhead. Although I enjoy my
solo time in the wilderness,
that night I was reminded how
good it feels to share such an
incredible experience with a
friend.

When a pair of massive solar
flares erupting from the sun
triggered a pair of coronal
mass ejections racing toward
Earth, I raced north to where
I'd be assured of beautiful
scenery. Near Cantwell and
Broad Pass in the Alaska Range,
meteorological conditions
produced crystal clear skies,
-20º F temperatures, and a 20-
knot wind! Pale blue light of the
approaching winter dawn can
just be detected in this image
of rare red, purple, and blue
aurora borealis shimmering
above the snowy taiga. To keep
my medium format cameras
working in such brutally cold
conditions, every twenty
minutes each camera body
was brought inside my running
pickup truck and placed directly
in the heat. I, on the other hand,
stayed out all night enjoying
the spectacular show. Another
photograph taken that night
was used by the USPS as a first
class stamp celebrating the
International Polar Year.

Chasing auroras in the depths
of a cold, dark night takes
no small amount of grit. As a
photography tour guide, most of
my time in the field was spent
attending to guests’ comfort and
helping them capture their own
memorable shots. But on this
particular moonless night, the
aurora forecast was as mild as
the weather, and I was guiding
only one guest who had the right
mental attitude for a successful
night regardless of the outcome;
so after helping him set up his
camera, I had an opportunity
to create a star trail. Having
forgotten to pack a remote
shutter release, I improvised by
taping down the button with a
“high-tech” pebble. This single
image is made from 168 stacked
photos taken over an hour and
a half. Though the main goal
was to capture rotation of the
brilliant stars, Lady Aurora was
not to be upstaged and made
a brief appearance over the
Chugach Mountains.

There are two fundamentals
in aurora photography, an
optimal aurora forecast and a
promising weather forecast.
Due to the quickly changing
and often cloudy weather in
Southeast Alaska, synchronizing
the two is challenging. On this
night, the aurora forecast was
favorable, but the weather
forecast called for developing
clouds by midnight. Because
there are often fewer clouds
north of Juneau, I drove along
the road watching the skies.
The aurora remained elusive,
and I could see the threatening
clouds approaching from the
south. The opportunity was
not looking promising. Faint
aurora appeared around the
rising moon in the east, which
I photographed for a while.
When I turned around to get a
different lens out of my pack,
suddenly the northwest sky lit
up with color over the Chilkat
Mountains. I had a few minutes
to make some photographs
just before the clouds rolled
in. Perseverance is often a
necessary attribute when
photographing outdoors!

While guiding a photo tour
in Alaska’s Arctic in mid-
September, I was lucky to
experience a clear and windless
night along the shores of the
Beaufort Sea. I immediately
hoped to photograph the
aurora and icebergs reflecting
in the calm water. When I saw
the aurora appear later that
night, I rushed to the one bluff
overlooking the sea that I knew
would provide the necessary
elevated perspective to get the
shot. However, upon arrival,
a grizzly bear was lying in the
grass exactly where I wanted
to plant my tripod! After
scouting along the coast for
other locations, the aurora
faded away, so I paused for a
while to watch a few polar bears
playing under the moonlight.
Just as I was about to call it a
night, the aurora flared again,
so I ventured back to my first
spot which, thankfully, was now
grizzly bear free. I captured a
dozen images while I listened
to polar bears splashing in the
water down the beach. It was
an unforgettable night of aurora
photography!

Capturing this image near Denali
National Park and Preserve
took four years of planning and
effort including many failed
attempts. But the day after
Thanksgiving I had much to
be grateful for because all the
elements finally came together.
Despite temperatures that
dipped below -40º F, and the
car’s windshield losing the battle
to frost, the conditions were
nearly perfect! The wind was
nonexistent which was very rare
for this typically windy location.
In addition to staying warmer in
the absence of wind, the trees
had less movement over the
10-second exposure. The nearly
full moon rising in the southwest
provided the perfect amount
and proper angle of light. After
working the scene to get the
right composition, I waited for
nearly an hour until the lights
danced magically for about
10 minutes. They then faded
away and never returned. Good
aurora photography is often a
combination of skill, planning,
stubbornness, and dumb luck.

It was night number 14 of the
aurora hunt—the night I had
promised my wife I would be
home—when an encouraging
aurora alert was announced on
spaceweather.com. A coronal
hole on the sun was pointing
toward earth and hosing us
down with a vast, aurora-
generating dose of charged
particles. Fortunately, my very
understanding wife said, “You
better stay out there!” When
I spotted the first green band
of aurora at 8 p.m., I knew
something very cool was being
newly minted. Often, when
the aurora appears early in the
evening in Alaska, it signals a
promising sign for an amazing
show ahead. Breath-taking
auroras burst onto the scene
45 minutes later as I knelt on
the edge of the clear ice and
composed their reflection
amidst delicate ice crystals
that resembled popcorn. The
hoarfrost-encrusted trees
contributed another delicate
element, while the ridge line of
Pioneer Peak of the Chugach
Range provided an iconic
landmark.

What Causes aurora Colors?
The colors of the aurora are made up of red, blue and green light emissions. Other colors may be seen as a mixture, or blending of the three. The typical human eye can see wavelengths from about 430 to 790 nanometers and has a maximum sensitivity around 555 nm, which, interestingly, is the same wavelength as the green-colored aurora.
Atomic oxygen causes the two most common aurora colors of green, 557.7 nm (O plus high-energy electrons) and red, 630.0 nm (O plus low-energy electrons). Nitrogen (N2) causes the blues (470 nm) and reds (600-700 nm). Other lighter gases high in the ionosphere, such as hydrogen and helium, can contribute colors but they are less visible to the naked eye.
The aurora occur most frequently from 60 to 200 miles (100 to 320 km) above Earth. Because the composition of atmospheric gases varies depending on their distance from Earth’s surface, altitude also influences aurora color. For example: Atomic oxygen is more common in higher altitudes, so the red aurora typically appear above the green aurora
While green aurora is commonly seen with the human eye, we don’t see reds very well because they are on the edge of the human eye’s color wavelength perception. Camera sensors, however, can capture reds and other colors much better than we can due to their broader sensitivity of color wavelength. Some of the other colors we see in the aurora displays are mixtures of other light emission colors. For example, purple is a blend of the red and blue emissions from the nitrogen atoms.
