Happy Autumn!
It’s Aurora Season in Alaska! After summer’s long daylight hours made seeing the northern lights impossible, darkness has returned to Alaskan skies, and with it, the aurora lights dancing through the moon & stars. To catch our latest posts, promotions & photographic experiences, we invite you to tune into Facebook/AuroraHunter.
Have a Good One!
Early morning auroras reflect on an Alaskan lake at 5:20 am on September 18, 2022 as moonlight illuminates the shoreline fall colors. To help with aurora prediction, we have created a Northern Lights Tonight page along with some Forecast Tools. Prints of this photo titled "Rising from the Deep” 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!
