Here are a few of mine. I don't have anything great for foreground so I threw myself in there. My first photos of the Aurora, I need to go...

Beautiful photos Brant! Looks like it was a great year!

Couple things that could help you out. Rule of 500. Don't be afraid to stack your images if you have to shoot shorter exposures. Don't be afraid...

Well I for one like the competitions, but it seems that people overall are voting to let it go (by not voting). It used to be a weekly thing, so the...

Thanks for the tip Sean!

Haha....it is the holidays!

Congrats, literally everyone.
