Image shortlisted for Astronomy Photographer of the year 2014. If someone asks what I remember most about this night my reply would be "brrrrrrrrrrr...... Cold". It was really cold, but it brought a really nice benefit, making the air so clear actually allowing to shoot the image in a way Id normally would not do and still come out pin sharp. That and getting the milky way, the northern lights and the full moon in the image has made this one of my absolute best night time captures.
After a long week Saturday comes in as a day of joy, time to do the things one really likes. Lights pushes away all the mist and clouds, making everything much clearer and the soft colors makes it a very inviting day.
Beautiful clear skies far away from any light pollution, does not get much better contitions to watch the night sky. Getting the milky way between the aurora is something that has crossed my mind many times but not something I thought I would get anytime soon, luck played a big part in getting this shot but so have the constant chase for the most beautiful auroras. Captured in Reisadalen, Nordreisa, Troms, Northern Norway.
