Findhorn Bay, Moray, Scotland

To be quite honest I am not really a massive fan of auroras at least not photographically, I prefer the videos I have seen of them with their amazing flickering shimmering movement and ever changing patterns and I tend to feel that motion is very key to my enjoyment of them. Never-the-less a whopping great aurora prediction peaking high into the red zone certainly piqued my interest and with just marginal cloud and the dark space on offer at Findhorn I duly arrived and captured the sickly green and red light of a reasonably bright though static aurora in the North sky with Burghead and the Findhorn beach huts also present in the frame with, yes a few other photographers present too.
