Where to view the Aurora around Yellowknife

By KyleWith on February 28, 2012 in Online

This season has presented us with some amazing Aurora Borealis already this year and they are only going to get better. The 2013/14 winter season is supposed to be one of the best.

Where do you view the aurora, well if you are in Yellowknife and they are strong they can be seen right from your front door, but that isn’t always the case. For those times when you want to get out-of-town a bit, away from the light pollution, I have a solution.

Thanks to local photog, Amy, we have a Google Map with all the great places to see the Aurora. The best part is everyone can add to the map. Go ahead and click the image below.

Aurora attention out of Seattle

By KyleWith on January 28, 2012 in General

This is a neat find out of Seattle, Washington.

Doug Mahugh, a resident of Seattle was up in Yellowknife to see and photograph the Aurora, or as I call them, the Northern Lights.

As a non-resident, Doug remarks on what it was like seeing the Aurora and also the experience of bundling up and going out in the -30ºC

Aurora Photographer on the Rise

By KyleWith on March 23, 2010 in People

I made a point to find the time Saturday afternoon between Caribou Carnival events to head down to the Snow Castle to see Karl Johnston. Karl is a young photographer from Fort Smith who specializes in photographing the Aurora Borealis. This was the first time I’d met Karl in person, although we have talked on occasion through Twitter and Facebook. At the age of only 21 he has exploded in to the norther photography scene.

The reason for his weekend visit to Yellowknife was to display his photographs at the Snowking’s Snow Castle, which is where I caught up with him. He said the day was going well and he had already sold one of his prints. Although at the time of my visit the castle wasn’t to busy, it was expected to pick up as other events took place.

Karl’s photographs are also on display in the Northern Images Art Gallery and have been for a couple months now. So if you missed him down at the Castle, be sure to check them out there.

He also told me he is planning on launching a new website in the near future to better suit his customer. Be sure to watch for the new site at www.KarlJohnston.com.
