Last night I set up my timelapse while it was cloudy and before the aurora kicked off. Then, magic happened!

Between wildfire smoke and clouds, I was able to capture at least one image of the aurora last week in the Twin Cities. You can also check out my video how I captured the shot.📷

This is part 3 of my March trip to Ely for fishing and photography. Unfortunately neither the fishing or photography was very good on the lake. I hope my video provides a glance into early spring in northeastern Minnesota.📷⬇️

On March 28 shortly after dark, storms in the east metro initiated as fast as I've seen. I made it out to capture the epic lightning show with many cloud-to-ground strikes near Cottage Grove and Woodbury. Watch it here! ⬇️⚡️#mnwx

Sometimes it pays to be lucky, like the perfect moon alignment I shot for the March full moon.

Join along on my newest adventure out under the stars shooting star trails. A great way to shoot astrophotography in the city, during a bright moon, and to fill in gaps between aurora shows!📷🎞️⬇️
