Description
Tommy Richardsen // Trichardsen // Facebook // 500px Β // Google+ // InstagramThis is why I go up the mountain every day, and it makes things more fun when able to capture such cool shapes within the aurora.
Oh an may i add, it has been some heavy days lately, have to dress for standing still, which means when moving up a mountain with all the camera gear it is quite hard.
But it is all worth it for a shot like this, I am very proud of this cause I feel I was finaly able to capture the aurora where it speaks for itself with almost no foreground help.
For the post processing: contrast +30, clarity +32, lower by 300 temp to bring forth the stars, increased whites and blacks by a smidge, reduced the purple saturation a tad, lens correction.
Used hyperfocal distance to get everything in focus, so wasnt much need for sharpening really, but added some to it.

This has a very eerie and ghastly kind of feel to it for me. I love the colors, and how the trees seem to be reaching up to the stars, perhaps to grasp one and pull it down to Earth, or escape to them from something unseen.

The power of Nature has striked again! It is a wonderful picture and of all I have marked, this is also the most mysterious. Seems that many of us have also a slight fatigue over buildings and artificial lighting (at least I do), so everything taken outside appeals in its own way. But this "Aurora-Lens" is definately my favourite. We are thinking stars, and this reminds me not only of this fact, but that there's also this bond, which ties me with my surroundings. The best firework ever out there. Thank you for putting so much effort to make available such a treasure.

Maybe the sharpest and the most beautiful aurora-pic i've seen. Wide view is used nicely and stars are well visible behind the northern lights lines. Great job!
