Captured on a perfectly clear night on 10th October 2024, this shoot documents a truly rare spectacle. The Aurora Borealis over Coneysthorpe, North Yorkshire. Away from the glare of city lights, the sky erupted into sweeping shades of blue, green, and subtle magenta tones that danced across the horizon, glowing from behind a silhouetted tree line.

The highlight of this session was an astonishing 92 megapixel panoramic image, crafted by stitching together 11 long exposure photographs in Adobe Lightroom Classic. The result captures an immense level of clarity and depth: every star, branch, and leaf rendered in stunning detail just 5 minutes from Castle Howard !

This was one of those moments where patience, precision, and timing aligned perfectly. With meticulous exposure balancing and manual blending, the image preserves the atmosphere of the scene, the silence, the faint hum of wind, and the natural wonder of seeing the Northern Lights paint the sky over Yorkshire.

It stands as one of CHAZ Media’s most technically complex and visually striking landscape pieces to date, showcasing both the artistry and precision behind long-exposure and astrophotography.
