Patchy fog began to form around midnight making photography difficult. Took
these before jumping in the car and driving round for an hour to see if I
could find a clear break in the fog, to no avail.
These were on supra 400 film. Although the mist made the photography
difficult it was actually fairly low level and didnt interfere with the
show. The eerie glow hanging round the trees added to the spooky atmosphere
that sees to come over the place during an aurora.

Nice. I got green close to the horizon and blue/red above that. You
have got red below the green and quite intense at that. Was the
colour noticable visually?

The colour was faintly visible, especially during the peak of the storm. Im
not sure if all the red/ orange is aurora or perhaps some of it is glow from
the town streetlights caught in the blanket of mist which was forming. Look
at the last picture in my set, the upper section has red, definately the
aurora, the lower orange, possibly reflected street lighting in the mist.
