Behind The Lens

Location

This is on the south coast of Iceland just a few kilometers from my house.

Time

Around midnight.

Lighting

The northern lights were active and I lit the foreground with a flashlight during exposure.

Equipment

Sony a7r2 + Samyang 14mm f/2.8 + Gitzo tripod.

Inspiration

The northern lights reflecting in the small river.

Editing

Yes, this was shot as a raw file, some levels and brightness in Photoshop.

In my camera bag

Sony a7r2 and Sony 16-35mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm and a Samyang 14mm lenses.

Feedback

Follow the aurora forecasts and find a good foreground when it is bright so you can go there in darkness.
