I am currently at northern part of finland chasing some northern lights. Last night drove over 300km to find clear spot but was well worth it. Tomorrow we head to Nordkapp, the northest part of norway to see more stuff to photo =)

Nice shot! I love the fact you can get a fast exposure with this lens, and freeze the intricate details of the aurora. Well worth the effort!

Rhapsody in Gold - This morning's sunrise at Vermilion Lakes, Banff. Once again Brant (Kayaker72) connected with me on a visit here, and we had a very fine morning!

It was a very tough decision this week, but I'm going to have to go with Jonathan Huyer – Rhapsody in Gold. That one made me stop and stare for a bit.

Besides Jonathan's winning image, I seriously considered awarding the highest honor to the following contenders (in no particular order): jerrytech1's "Beginnings", jamsus's "Verdone" & sedwards's "Amelie."

Great entries everyone!

Congrats Jonathan! And thanks Sean for the honorable mention. Tough week!!

Congratulations, Jonathan! And great choice, Sean.

Wow thanks! It's really hard to go wrong at that spot. And having Brant along was great for motivation and inspiration as well. We first thought the sunrise was going to be rather subdued, but then the sun broke through the gap and put on a great show. Afterwards we photographed some bull elk during the peak of their rut, which was also a lot of fun.

Congratulations on the win Jonathan. It was definitely a tough week but an amazing shot.

Always a lot of fun to hang out and shoot together.
