Oh, I am humbled by everyone's comments! Thank you all! And thank you Approvers for your hard work.
If anyone thinks going to Alaska is too cold, it's not. My last night/morning it got down to -18. My shooting hand did get cold. But after setting up the shot I could jump right back into the heated truck. So, if you get the chance to go, go for it! :)

These aurora shots are amazing. What time of night were these photo's taken? Did you have special lens on your camera? I see you shoot a Nikon like I do and your model D5100 is the model after mine. In the the majority of my shots I tend to use only the 18mm-55mm lens in wide angle mode with an ISO of 100 or 64. I also usually set my f/ stop to 11 or higher in order to achieve a greater depth of field and pull everything in focus. I found using a remote for night shots keeps everything clean especially when shooting shots of the moon. A cable release tends to work great when trying lengthy exposures. Great work and it has been a pleasure chatting with you.

About CenTexWeatherGal
CenTexWeatherGal Hi or Howdy! My name is Debbie. I've been a member of Wunderground for several years now. As my handle suggests, I'm a novice weather nut. I get it from my mom. :) Anyhow, I've always loved the very complete weather data found here ... from radar, to data, to blogs, etc. This is the best weather web site out there.I have a Davis Instruments Vantage Pro 2 personal weather station which sends data to WU every few seconds. And I have my own weather web site as well (go to website link below).I've always admired the photos here. Recently, I bought myself a new camera. So, please critique my photos and tell me how I can improve. Thank you!
