Expecting Northern Lights to appear tonight much like they did in this multi-capture image from 2015 that I just reprocessed. Still debating if I should set up the tripod tonight in 20-degree temps...?

I made a rare decision with the editing of this image to not level the horizon. Because sometimes when you're on a boat, the horizon is not always level!

I admit to having a lack of photography skills in low light conditions (especially while hand-holding my camera), so I try to be 'creative' with digital editing...but without using filters! Maybe too creative?

And this would be my preferred way to travel...aboard one of the many yachts that pass through Sitka, Alaska.

This wouldn't be my preferred way to travel, but I won't judge other than to say I admire their sense of adventure!
