Last night the aurora came out to play, and I was very happy to be able to watch from a lakeshore in Banff National Park

Agree with that.

What Av, Tv, and ISO? I assume it was your 24mm f/1.4L II.

Thanks --- yes it was the 24 f/1.4 LII, ISO 1600, 8 sec @ f/2.0 on my 1DX. I've wanted an aurora shot from this location for a long time, so it is extra sweet when it finally happens.

With a shutter speed of 8 seconds, the lights must have been pretty bright. You even managed some red. Really well done... I like the color reflection in the lake. Thanks for the information, and thanks for sharing.

All:
Sorry to disrupt the competition with my comments. But then again, I think there needs to be more interaction and learning about what went into a shot. This is a good example: I would not have guessed an 8 second exposure (I was guessing another stop or two higher). Given my experience of night sky shooting, the exposure level gives me a better appreciation as to how bright the sky actually was when this was taken.

(Scroll down a little to see more norther lights - it is a little early in the season for the lights there).

I would love to see what you could do with a couple weeks there. Every time you get near Northern Lights you come away with outstanding pictures.

Beautiful shot, Jon! Getting north to see (photograph) the Norther Lights is on my "list".
