Aurora Hunter by Todd Salat - Your source for the northern lights
Howdy Folks!
It’s Showtime in Alaska! After a dreamy aurora season I have four new photographs that Shay & I will be showcasing at the Anchorage Market every weekend this summer.
About my newbies: 2022 kicked off with Dreamscape ~ a dazzling January aurora display over my Hatcher Pass cabin. In March, I caught Anchorage Delight ~ bright auroras doing a wiggle dance over the Alaskan city we call home. I then pursued a decade-long dream and spent the first half of April driving around the Ring Road in Iceland while living in a campervan and photographing the country’s world-class waterfalls. This resulted in my first international aurora photos, Guiding Light and Icelandic Flow.
To catch our latest posts, promotions & photographic experiences, we invite you to tune into Facebook/AuroraHunter.
Have a wonderful season!
Using a candle, I try luring in the wily Alaskan aurora at my Hatcher Pass cabin in deep winter January. During summertime, it's too bright to see the northern lights in our neck of the woods. For those in lower latitudes who still have dark nights and a chance to see the lights, we have created a Northern Lights Tonight page along with some Forecast Tools. Prints of this photo named "Carry the Torch” available here.

3 Movie Bundle
Each of these movies are a great way to experience the awe-inspiring auroras in motion through Todd's extensive time-lapse footage. Together, they provide an in-depth experience into real life aurora hunting and were many years in the making. Both visual journeys are enhanced with science and music that ranges from space-age acoustic sensations to aurora rock! 3-Movie Bundle
Solar Cycle
Here's a graph illustrating when in the solar cycle I've taken some of my favorite shots. The key thing to remember is that auroras occur throughout the cycle from Solar Max to Solar Min. They're just not quite as common during the lows in the cycle. More on the Solar Cycle
Precious Metals
We are absolutely smitten with Metal Prints. The results of having my aurora & scenic shots printed on aluminum have been WOW-With Out Words! The inks are dye-infused onto a specially-coated aluminum sheet and sealed with a gemlike UV coating that is both water and scratch resistant. We have commonly heard people say, "It's like looking through a window"...."Are these backlit?"...."They look so 3D." And the archival quality is out of this world (think century plus). This is a technological breakthrough and the results are in HIGH DEF!
