Lovely set. I've only seen the northern lights once, when I was a kid, and it wasn't very impressive. I went for a walk on Saturday night around midnight but the sky was very hazy. However with light pollution from the city I don't think there was much to see around here. I am glad I got to

I find these little guys very frustrating. They let you get close, but not really close enough (not with my 200mm lenses, anyway). And even if I manage to get a shot, it's hard to get many; they don't seem to sit still for long. As I said earlier, the wind conspired against very sharp shots
