Believe it or not, on rare occasions when the conditions allow, the Southern Lights or Aurora Australis can be viewed from as far north as the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria!
I initially began researching this phenomenon back in 2010 however only witnessed my first Aurora on the Mornington Peninsula in early 2012. I captured a few average shots but the aurora was quite faint and I wasn't entirely happy with them. From that moment I was hooked, spending countless cold nights out in the wild attempting to capture this amazing spectacle.
In early 2013, it was a Wednesday night and I was packing my suitcase ready for an early morning flight to Alice Springs to run a workshop when I did a random check of the space weather. According to the charts - the Aurora was in full force! I dropped everything and raced out the door to one of my preferred viewing locations.
I knew the moon was going to rise soon so I only had an hour of shooting time. I found my way down to this still rock pool and setup my gear. It was near impossible composing the shot in complete darkness! I fine tuned my composition with each shot until it was perfect then captured a number of long exposures settling on this one as my favourite.
The red and green colours in the sky were amazing, there was no mistaking this was the best Aurora I had ever witnessed, and from the Mornington Peninsula!
As the moon rose the colours disappeared so I headed home for a few hours sleep before heading to the airport.
