    Longer exposure is the trick, and framing the shot away from other light sources. The camera doesn’t really matter, as long as you can manually adjust things (try pro mode on a phone), and have it mounted on something that won’t shake during the exposure.

    With that, aurora photos very often aren’t as they would appear to the eye because of that long exposure. They can still get reasonably bright though.






  • You can request that you not receive unaddressed mail, it’s quite nice not having a mailbox stuffed with garbage.

    Just because you may not use a postal service much doesn’t mean others don’t. It’s really the only option for those without mobile devices, computers, or internet access. Dismantling or privatizing the postal service would have a significant negative impact on seniors, elderly, and rural and remote communities.
