7Artisans 50mm f0.95 lens, manual focusing at somewhere between f1.0 and f1.4, so everything is just melting into the bokeh.

A 100 pound longjohn & the (folded) disco travel bike

I was returning a repaired longjohn, so I had to find some way to get back home. Fortunately, I’ve got the disco travel bike at the ready for just this sort of activity.

More aurora?

Not quite so much retouching this time around; I took the mighty *istDS & my SMC 1:1.2 lens out, did some looong exposures, then photoshopped some saturation & contrast into the photos.

But maybe? I think I might have seen some flickering about the same time I took these photos, but (shrug emoji)

Aurora

Aurora

Enhance! Enhance! And those blurry maybe-they’re-moving-and-it’s-not-just-cataracts resolve to yes I have finally managed to for sure see a (blown out by city glow) CME’s collision with the planet that I live on.

Sadly, the doomsters prediction of the CME blowing up city power didn’t come true, so I didn’t get a chance to see a fully functioning death star in action.
