When a quiet, wind-free night suddenly fills in with the Aurora light, my internal state of calmness rapidly changes. The inflow of excitement kicks in bringing a nervous and chaotic search for composition. Only after the first shot of adrenaline fades away, I can calm down and move into my internal Zen space. Then, I can internalize the experience to put together all the moving parts and frame the shot.
Shot at 35mm f 2.0 ISO 800 10 sec plus additional shot for sharpness in the foreground. Minimal raw adjustments.
Thanks for your comments!
It was an amazing Aurora night. I have so many different shots of this composition with different displays of Aurora that I could provide custom and unique photo for at least 20 people. Last time such Aurora displays over Mt. Asgard I had in 2015. Every year is different there and Aurora is either near Mt. Thor or over the Mt. Asgard. All depends on the speed of our trek which varies a bit each year.
Yes - a wonderful display of the aurora - but really like how all the "soft curves" of the visual elements come together and complement each other. And, all this done in the dark!
