August and September yielded two astrophotography trips, both focused on chasing the northern lights. The first trip was to Lundy Bay on the north Cornwall coast, which offered a beautiful, albeit brief, display. It was a trip of luck, as the moment I arrived, the aurora intensified, providing an hour of photography before clouds moved in. That was enough time to capture an image from the cliff and several shots from the water’s edge.
A few weeks later, I visited another location in north Cornwall further west called Mother Ives Bay. The Aurora forecast was promising, but the weather was not as favorable. In typical fashion, after I called it a night and headed home, the Aurora activity increased. However, I was still able to capture some images, and this remains a location I look forward to revisiting at some point.
