Photo taken just after midnight.Lighting
The evening started with some colouring, not too exciting. However, later on the flames were for a moment so intens that the picture of that moment was totally overexposed!Equipment
Canon 5d mk2 + Tokina 16-28/2.8??Inspiration
After a great day of snow showers I was treated to this wonderful aurora. Even with the bright moon up this fast changing, bright and colorful aurora was enough to shine through.Editing
As I had used RAW mode, my first step was RAW conversion. During the conversion process it is possible to make adjustments to improve the image. These adjustments include exposure increases, contrast adjustments, white balance changes and fine-tuning and sharpness.In my camera bag
I always pack up my huge tripod Manfrotto and Canon 5d mk2 with lenses Canon 24-70 and Tokina 16-28Feedback
- find dark and clear skies - check the aurora activity (http://spaceweather.com) When checking aurora activity, you’ll want to look at the Kp-Index which ranges from 0-9 with 0 being low aurora activity and 9 being the greatest.
