Aurora

Aurora borealis ok to have the cottage inn the capture?

I think so.

the cottage make it special.

Cottage adds the needed element IMO. Great shot.

Definitely. The cottage, the lights in the cottage, the tree's, the stars, a great composition.

Great composition, great exposure. What where the exposure details?

IMHO, I think the cottage is good, though it is too bright. The red lights from it are in collision with the green flurecent of the sky. Also, there is a bothering line about the lower third of the sky. I think this image has great potential and captured my eye immediatly. It took some peckering to come up with this. But the red lights of the house are a real thing.

I do not agree with the previous comment: I like the red windows, without them, it would be a picture less interesting. It has the 3 primary colors, RGB, and the lighted house gives us a sense of scale. Very minimal.

This one just makes me miss home like MAD! :-)) I'm from Bod�, but moved to Ireland a few years back. This I haven't seen for ages. :-)) Really nice!

Keep the cabin!!! Maybe a bit crop under it...+ some crop at the right of the aurora would be beneficial... just maybe! Stunning no matter what! :-))

 

Ivar 7/7

I like the mood in this picture.

Very special. The cabin makes it stand out from other similar shots of this light.

maginificent picture! what beautiful colors and composition. but the most amazing thing is the placement of the thin cloud covering part of the aurora. that gives a much better idea of how huge it is. 7/7

Beautiful and magnificent. Without the cottage it wouldn't be as attractive as it gives a sense of the size to the boreal. Great work

Neat image!

This image is great, the only thing I would do is remove the straight cloud that exists in the low middle of the image. IMO it is a bit distracting. In all a great photograph, with good exposure, and the cottage IMO makes the image stand out even more! Thanks for sharing

Just a suggestion!

Ryan not that your suggestion is good, IMHO it is that straight cloud which is serving as a reference to show see how high and how far the aurora really stretches. otherwise it may as well be equivalent on the scale of chimney smoke. just my thoughts.

Thanks for your comments! the cloud stripe is condensation after airplane Min 10.000 feet high!

I used , F:4.0 iso 400 og 8 sec brukt kamra and the 20D bilt inn nois reduction.

What a great shot. I think the cottage adds a lot here. Well done.

Ketil, I like th composition, only the cottage window is too bright and takes attention from the real star - the aurora. incredible, anyway !! thanks jana

Beautiful picture, the cabin makes it special.
