Aurora Borealis in Upper Austria

Saturday night I went out for taking some pictures of the Aurora Borealis here in Upper Austria. Since I was on Standby duty this week I had to stay near Linz to be able to drive to a customer location if any onsite visit would be neededd. I decided to drive to the Giselawarte (GIS) noth of Linz to try my Luck. And I was lucky that at least the Aurora Borealis was visible a little bit. I was able to take some pictures with at least a little bit of violet in it. There were a lot of people watching it up there and also some other photographers.

What I didn't like, there were also a lot of people with torches 😡. They ruined a lot of my pictures since the Torch light is so bright on a longtime exposure picture that whenever someone shone with his torchlight near my camera the picture was damaged. Luckily I could convince some of these people to turn of the torch but still a lot of my pictures got damaged through too harsh torch light. And I don't know why they needed it anyway, it was not that dark that you couldn't see anything.

But still under these circumstances I am pretty happy with the results.
