Amateur photographer's aurora shot selected for Australian Weather Calendar
Steven Genesin's aurora photo was chosen as the December image in the 2027 Australian Weather Calendar.
Photographer Steven Genesin was staying in Flinders Chase National Park with his wife when aurora alerts came through on two consecutive nights. Steven Genesin's first attempt yielded little, but he tried again the next evening.
As he wandered a short distance from the cabin, the sky slowly came alive. For an hour and a half, the southern lights painted vibrant colours across the night sky.
Genesin, an amateur photographer who has grown more passionate about the hobby since retiring, spent the evening shooting dozens of images as the display shifted and changed. His patience paid off: one of those frames is now the December image in the 2027 Australian Weather Calendar.
