Thanks! No it's not 50mm. For some reason when shooting with 14mm manual lense the information is wrong.

Behind The Lens

Location

Photo is taken at the Raippaluoto island in Finland. This location is Unesco World heritage site and very unique in the world. The land is youngest in the world, due to rise of the land.

Time

Photo is taken at late night.

Lighting

Auroras took care about lighting. What a spectacular show!

Equipment

Tripod, Canon 5Dmkii and Samyang 14/2.8

Inspiration

I like the Auroras very much, always try get shot of those when sun storm hits earth.

Editing

Post processing in lightroom for white balance and colors. Photo taken in RAW format.

In my camera bag

Tripod, Canon 5Dmkii, Canon 1Dmkii, Samyang 14/2.8, Canon 24-70/2.8, Canon 70-200/4, Canon 400/5.6

Feedback

Take a look on aurora forecast, if really hard sun storm hits earth it is possible to see auroras as south as Germany. Dark location without light pollution is needed also.
