Re: Northern Lights

If you look at the Flickr page for the photo there's an action menu above the pic. Select Show EXIF data, and it will show you shutter speed, exposure, ISO and a whole load more info.

Re: Northern Lights

Cheers! That shot was 25 seconds. Much longer and the stars would have blurred. It was really dancing about - tried to get video of it but had no luck...

The Spear - Slioch
