| Comment | The camera is doing a lot of heavy lifting here - This is ISO 100, 20mm F3.5, 30" exposure, so it really allows the light a chance to imprint on the sensor.
In person, there was an aura, a glow, and you could see the columns and pillars with a *very* slight hue - I didn't realise the purple was purple until I saw it in the camera, for instance.
There is the possibility this was owing to the fact that the moon was still in the sky (out of frame left), so was casting a marginal amount of ambient light pollution. I reckon if I had waited about until 4am, there was a spike that was double the nT value of the one I photographed, and the moon would have been well below the horizon by then - if the clouds were still sparse then, that would've been a better show, but unfortunately I had work this morning and didn't want to be a complete bag of shit! |
