The Northern Lights Buck
« on: November 21, 2023, 05:35:54 PM »
Went to Montana for the first time with a few buddies last week. My hunting partner for the trip shot a nice, wide 3x4 on our first day at sundown, his first deer. We packed him out and noticed what looked like light pollution on the horizon. Strange for the middle of nowhere Montana. Sure enough, it was the Northern Lights. A long exposure was needed to really capture them, but one of the guys is pretty talented with the DSLR.

Anyways, here's a couple photos. Definitely getting some prints of these! In all likelihood some OIL photos.

Those are incredible shots!  Just to get the Aurora is tough enough.  That belongs in a magazine.

Absolutely amazing! Myself and some pards ran into them once in the Methow. 50 years or so ago. Those lights and those memories will never be forgotten. Not many get to experience them. Those pictures are absolutely amazing!!!!

Fantastic

Any recommendations on print types that would show the detail best? I'd like the stars to show up well and feel like they might blur/blend in print.
