In March 2007, I woke up from a nap I took to prepare for a late night, got dressed in my warmest clothing, drove about 30 min north, and set up my tripod in -25 degree F temperature to capture the northern lights. It was the first time I had ever seen them, and it was a thrilling event for me. My DSLR had been purchased that January, so I was still new to the camera and had a lot to learn. For example: a smaller f-stop, thicker socks, and an extra battery due to the temperature. Oh, and that blowing on the lens to get dust off when it's cold results in frost.....
