Wasn't that one of the greatest shows on earth?!?! It was everywhere for hours! 😃 Maybe it was courtesy of the spirit of Alyn Wallace to get the world excited about the night sky. ❤ Beautiful and amazing images as always Richard!🙂 Cheers to you!
@@nightscapeimages.richard Truely inspired that you where led to the auroras on such a night as that. Do you mind telling me what date that was please.
Richard, never have I seen you so animated during a nightshoot. Like a kid in a candy shop! The aurora does that to people for some strange reason. I'm so glad that night sky lovers from both hemispheres got to witness a part of history. This was officially the strongest solar storm for 21 years beating the Halloween 2003 storm. I just wished Alyn Wallace was still with us to witness it 💚 brilliant video
Loved the ending. One master of their craft honoring another master of their craft. They say you don't realise how much you appreciate someone until they're gone...; Thank you for always bringing us awesome videos, Richard! And Alyn, thank you for the lightshow, it was awesome!🌠
More tripods! More everything! 😄. Man, I take my hat of for you Richard how well you were able to document this frantic and historical night! What an experience and boy, did you capture lots of great images with a good variety also 👌. Love how the reds were so well defined in Australia!
Hi Richard!!! I could feel your joy and happiness, as the sky was on fire!!! The photos are just stunning! I know Alyn would love to have been there to see that!!! I don't know if you spotted it or not but you got a shooting star at about 8:25 on the timer. Look in the upper left corner. I looked to see if anyone else saw it in the comments, I did not read them all. From what I saw no one mentioned it. I hope I get to see this beautiful sky display at some point in my life time. That you for the video!!!
You did better than I did...I couldn't even film a video, I was too flabbergasted by what I was seeing! It was a special night that's for sure! Never in a million years would I have thought to see them like that just outside the city I live in in Eastern Canada. The colours were incredible! 2024 has been wild, Full Solar Eclipse, record auroras...what's next? (Hard not to think about Alyn)
Wow Richard! This video was spectacular! Seeing you so jazzed up and almost speechless with the show you were seeing was going to be the best part of the video. Your awesome images were going to be the frosting on the cake, then you got the tribute to Alyn Wallace in! That put it over the top for me. You really outdid yourself! By the way, the conditions in northeast Wisconsin may be looking good for some Aurora hunting tonight.
So many great images! We were at our Star Party on a property between Geelong and Ballarat and managed to get under 3 hours of clear views South. It was such a magical experience. Also, nice tribute to Alyn - He is on my mind every time I try editing my images from that night.
Nice touch on Allyn. Bless him and you. Wish I could been there so exciting. So many great shots here in the USA. Down as far South as Key Largo Florida. My beloved niece and her husband sent me their Raw fillies to work on. They live in dark sky country of far Western South Dakota. Oh how I wish could have been there or anywhere away from light pollution here in Southeast Virginia. Just had my shoulder replaced on Wednesday. Maybe there will be another time. Great shots and energy Richard. Thank you again so much for sharing. Keep them coming.
I was out on the field on that friday too... While my D750 worked like crazy, i just stood there, with tears in my eyes and watched, how it dances on the night sky. It was my very very first time to witness it, i still hardly can describe that experience, what i felt standing there. It was out of this world... 🥹
Great shots Richard, we got an equally stunning display here in Southern California. I was unable to shoot it due to car issues and being a bit unwell myself
Truly amazing richard. I was out that night myself in ireland and I can honestly say that I have never saw anything like that In my life before. RIP alyn..
Breath taking images. I went out that night after my aurora app went nuts and felt the same exhilaration. I hope it wasn't a once in a life time event, but if it was, I'm so glad I got a chance to experience it.
Superb and epic theatre on the sky Richard. Thank you. In my country i saw Aurora Borealis on 10th May 2024. It was the first time in my life. I took more pictures during one hour. . Wonderful experience.
Great images and video fella. I went out not expecting much so didn't take out all my cameras. I ended up using my phone to capture some shots. Nice touch dedicating it to Alyn, I did think of him when out last Friday as it was his videos that showed me I could capture the night sky with an ordinary camera. Also like you Richard I was facing south despite being at 55° north.
Thanks Richard, for yet another brilliant video. It brought back some great memories from our adventure last Saturday. When my wife and drove down to Bells Beach from Melbourne with the hope of evading the clouds and seeing our first Aurora and WOW it was brilliant. Love you work and thanks so much.
Wow wow wow !! great images Richard and your compositions are fantastic ! This was such an awesome night over here in NZ as well, having never ever viewed an Aurora before it has got me hooked, downloaded a few Aurora apps and keep viewing them now lol. Off down South to Dunedin in July so will be keeping my Aurora alerts on and be ready for any action ! Cheers and well shot. Ps, I got 2hrs of magic images !
Fantastic images Richard. Your tribute was very moving. Alyn was such an inspiration for so many and we are all so fortunate to have had the benefit of his work and knowledge. Thank you.
Superb video Richard, loved watching this, a spectacular show and I can really feel your excitement on location. Beautiful images and a once in a life time show indeed. We had an epic show in N. Ireland, best I've seen since 2003 and like yourself I can't believe how lucky I was to get a clear night. That isolated red beam in your footage away from the main aurora looks like SARS, often a precursor to STEVE. Fantastic vlog and hope you are keeping well.
I got lots of pics of it in way north Maine in the US. Awesome! Theirs going to be more nights like that during this high point of the solar cycle. Looking forward to it!
Bravo, Richard! Wonderful photos, wonderful behind-the-scenes footage, and you conveyed your excitement and enthusiasm perfectly. Your tribute to Alyn Wallace was beautiful.
Wonderful photos Richard - truly awesome - and a great choice of music as an accompaniment! Congratulations. And a lovely tribute to Alyn. Thanks for sharing!
What a Night Mr Tatti your truly a nightscape machine not only capturing so many amazing shots but film your adventure at the same time….such a shame Alyn couldn’t share this amazing night with us
The excitment in your voice Richard echoed mine exactly when I caught my first on the 11th May, I had no idea on settings as Ive never sought to shoot it before so I just left the camera on what I would normaly have for tracking apart from a shorter shutter speed but in the end if the pics didnt work it didnt matter I just felt so privelaged to have witnesed it in real time with the naked eye watching the beams come and go and the colours where other worldly, what a night, and to dedicate it to Alyn just sheer class, Im sure he would have loved it, thankyou
Thank you for that. What a special event. I loved that you mentioned Alyn.... He might just have played his part in that show...., I like to think that. 😊
A night I will never ever forget. Some say the Aurora is a portal for those entering the afterlife. Cant help but wonder if Alyn helped give us all one heck of a show. Amazing footage, Richard! Almost moved to tears! (I was that night) 🙌🏼🫶
Richard simply magnificent photos, the panoramas of the Silos, its silhouette and the other photos are fantastic, it was a memorable night across the planet. On Friday morning, I and 3 friends moved 260km south to the darkest area of Portuga, during dinner, which was still daylight, one of my friends and I received an alert about the Northern Lights, but we didn't pay much attention because we thought they were only for northern Europe, when we arrived at our location to photograph (Noudar Castle) I was the first to take a photo and I was incredulous with the white balance that I had put on the camera, the entire landscape was Pink and Red, but no, it was really a gigantic Northern Lights that reached 37º Latitude, we stayed taking photos until the sun rose. Thank you for sharing this magnificent Southern night with us, a hug Richard. Beautiful tribute to Alyn 👏🙏
What an amazing light show. Will be hard to beat this one. I have to admire your enthusiasm, it just shows us how much you love doing nightscapes. A lovely tribute at the end. Thanks for sharing. May all your travels be safe.
Oh my goodness, Richard! What amazing photos and video! Definitely looks like a once in a lifetime event. Never seen an aurora, so thank you for sharing and allowing us to witness it through your imagery.
It was a night to remember, the overhead ribbons at 11:30 pm in Tassie was something I’ve never seen before. Great you got to experience it too. Thanks for sharing
lol..in NZ where I live (christchurch) We get stuff like that not has big ...I missed this year as I was towards equator...lol....but I got the kp8 storms last year...so cool to watch your excitement...lol awesome shots
This is how it was for us on Oct 10th in the US too. Most of the country could see it, but it was absolutely wonderful. I wasn't into chasing auroras in May, but wish I had been! That ending for Alyn was wonderful, as were your last pictures!
It was a Fantastic! night Richard. Great excitement, loved the movie footage of it. Like you, I drove for 5+ hours to get clear skies, which meant I didn't last all the way until daylight the next day but I was very happy I did the trip. I have seen a couple of big ones in 2023, the one on Dec 1st/2nd 2023 was a biggee as well. Your second last image has to be one for the history books and should be a great seller. A finally the tribute to Alyn, very well done as usual my friend. 🙂
Thanks for your very kind words Les. We don't get really big shows normally where I live. . not like you guys and the Tassie folk . .But I was really pleased to be in my own district to see this one.
We were at the beach with HUNDREDS if not thousands of people all looking up at the sky and when the aurora peaked everyone cheered, it was such a surreal moment to see everyone gather to watch this, once in a lifetime indeed. I was up 24 hours from work and this yet the joy kept me up haha! omg you even caught the milky way on that first image!
Just incredible mate. been waiting for a video from you as I figured you would've chased it. Love the tribute to Alyn at the end. Very Poignant and fitting!
Love, love, love this video Richard. It brought back all the excitement I felt while I was out this night. My husband also watching said "he sounds like you" lol. It was such a beautiful night that will stay in our memories forever.
What a absolutely phenomenal night you had Richard! The images are just breathtaking! I am so glad you got to experience this night. Have a fantastic weekend and week my friend! 🙏🏻☕️🍪
Think I was just as excited as you obviously were. I watched it from the NE of Scotland and still working my way through 3000+ shots taken that night. One I will never forget
👍👍👍👍What a amazing night Richard, ive never seen anything like it, i was on the side of a road in north wales uk it was all atound me didnt know which way to point the camera, its very strong now 17/05/24 21.30 uk time
Richard, that was a fantastic video!! So glad you got to witness it where you were. So jealous of the lack of people !! But at the same time I’m so very glad that so many people were able to witness such a spectacular event! The people who were parked next to Suz and I brought their kids out to witness it. They were not photographers. But they were in awe of what they saw. I didn’t get stunning compositions like you did. But very grateful for the images that I did capture. We were heading west when the notifications kept coming in so detoured hoping to capture it. I’m glad we did. I’ve never seen anything like it. Especially in Melbourne. So very glad to have seen your stunning images.
Thanks so much Jules. I'm really pleased that you and Suz have been able to get out a bit more in recent times. From what I saw your images are gorgeous.
Incredible images Richard, the grain silo one was off the scale and what a lovely tribute to Alyn at the end, he was looking down on us last Friday bless him ❤️ I even got to see them properly for the first time in my back garden here in the UK, been on my bucket list for 3 years or more, goosebump moment 👌
An absolutely amazing videos and shows how everyone felt on the day with emotions and a chaos .. you did so well and loved it Richard .. this day will be in memory for a long time
I love your obvious infectious excitement in this video Richard, and all the amazing images. Obviously one of the most amazing nights we will see. And where was I, on plane over southern India 😂😂😂. Thems the breaks, but the video helps make me realise how amazing it was. Love the tribute to Alyn at the end.
Glad you got out to photograph it. It was truly an amazing and historic night. I felt all the same feelings you experienced as I was standing in the mountains surrounded by light beams. I get chills thinking about it. Congrats.
it was definitely the most magical night of my life. We experienced Aurora on all horizons in central Idaho, USA. It was stunning! Awesome video, and stunning images! Thank you! ✨ Cheers to Alyn. ❤️
That was a fantastic episode Richard. I was so jealous of everyone down south, no Aurora up here in Cairns. I would have slept out under it all night. Your excitement and enthusiasm was palpable. I thought about Alyn the whole way through the episode, I really felt your tribute to him at the end. Nice one!
It sure was a night to remember Richard, I was fortunately in NZ when it went off and OMG what a night - your excitement in your video was just like us dancing around NZ and going wowww just wowww. Never thought I would witness a G5 in my lifetime but so glad I did. Keep the videos coming, your enthusiasm is infectious when it comes to night scape images.
It was an amazing night, wasn't it? With so much going on all you want to do is shoot. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along on the journey. Great job mate, as always!
This was probably my all-time favorite video of yours. Your enthusiasm was awesome. I drove over six hours back home from my best friends funeral in Kentucky that evening and then jumped right back in my vehicle 30 minutes later and went out to shoot the Aurora in Southern Michigan, USA. What an absolutely amazing experience it was. Your photos were absolutely stunning. Keep up the amazing work. I look forward to your next adventure.
6:40 Hi Richard you we're like a kid in a sweet shop and why not what a fabulous display I was lucky to get also over the house here in the UK what a great video if you never saw them again I don't know if you could beat that I am well pleased for you lovely tribute to alyn also cheers Richard 😊 😊
