On our visit to Iceland, our second stop was Kirkjufell, an impressive mountain on the coast of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. We had pretty miserable weather, with lots of cloud cover. I decided I wanted to see what the scene would really look like if we were lucky enough to get the Aurora while there. I composited an aurora I got to see a couple days later in Iceland into this scene, shot before sunrise. While I think this makes for a great image, I am still not sold on the use of composites in photography; however, I wanted to show the world just how wonderful this place can be.

Nice work. I am not sold on composite photos either. To me, as opposed to painting, photography is about representing the moment. Thanks for disclosing this is a composite, showing your vision how the place “could’ve been” as oppose to what the place actually was while you had your lens opened. All that said, I understand what people think of as their creative art, mainly their ability with composition and post-process. To me the key is full disclosure, so other people know what they are buying and/or what they are competing against. I collect minerals, I like to know if my rock is naturally formed or color enhenced or polished. :) Cheers!
