Viewed over the house it is towards North with stronger red display developing. Although cloud was forecast earlier the relatively low grade display happened before the cloud arrived. This photograph was taken with a Nikon D700 full frame DSLR using a 28mm-70mm Tokina SD F3.5 lens at f5.6 aperture at 28mm focal length, ISO setting of 3200 for 6 seconds. The increased ISO sensitivity of modern DSLR’s allows for shorter exposures circa 10 sec average times giving more accurate recordings of these moving events.
