One of the better photos from my 13 ProMax during my recent Lake Tahoe trip.
Was trying to capture the falling snow effect.

I saw pictures of pink ones: how rare are those pink auroras ?
They light or pinkish purple colors are very rare, and dark purple seem to be be more common (I have seen the dark purple colors in some other images), at least on my own experiences (I could be wrong, or course). When taking photos of the pinkish-color auroras (below), I only noticed the difference when viewing them on the camera's screen. I thought that the camera's settings were not correct, but I was wrong. Then when I downloaded the images to my computer I realized that that the pink colors were very unusual, and that while I could not see them with my own eyes while when taking them with my camera, the sensor could. That was the only time that I had a chance to photograph those colors, since I have never seen them before.

Thanks for the beautiful photo and the explanation!
 
Love the lighting in this scene -- but where are the penguins??!
They weren’t very active at the moment, but were topside, perhaps waiting for food. There’s a seating area down at the bottom where you can watch them swim like little torpedoes, but none were in the water at the time (which might explain the lack of people in the scene). At the long shutter speed, I’m curious how it would have turned out.

Taken this morning, I thought I would repeat the type of photo I shared the day before yesterday, with different camera and lens...



Nikon Z 50, LensBaby Composer 50mm, 1/400 @ f/2.8, straight out of camera except for a slight crop on the left side.

Cheers :)

Taken in the yard this morning, still getting my settings dialed in for the new Sony AR7 III. This was in shutter priority at 1/1250, ISO 640 at f/2.8 using my existing Canon lens on the CM-11 mount. At 42 MP I am able to get a ton of detail at near full crop, it's an amazing camera.
