Weekly Challenge 24-42

This week’s photo was taken by Jessica Harrington Korthius. It is the Northern Lights as seen from her deck in Jefferson NH. There were so many amazing photos of last week’s rare display of Northern Lights in New England, and it was tough to choose just one. What I really loved about this shot was the almost otherworldly vibe. It looked like it was taken on another planet. Oh, and one other unusual thing about this photo, it was not at all what her eyes saw, and she used no filters. She was shocked when she looked at it. Other photographers experienced this same phenomenon when snapping these elusive beauties.

We hope you enjoy painting this week’s challenge and will share your rendition on our Facebook Group Page, Friends of Portsmouth Arts Guild.

If you have any photos you would like us to use as a weekly challenge, please email them to us at gallery@portsmoutharts.org. We are always looking for inspiration.
