Hi Frederic,

Tremendously done .. wonderful note about the tent .. the balance of lights and stars in the sky is beautiful and vast. if you don't mind me asking what was your shutter/ ISO combination ?

take care, john

Hello Frederic,
je peux seulement admirer ton travail, c'est formidable. Moi aussi je préfère les pays du nord, et je'ai visité ton site. Qu'est ce que je dois ajouter? Images merveilleuses.
Ciao, Elena

Hello Frederic,
Great image of the northern lights, dramatic wisps, stars and a bonus with the tent lighting.
I am envious.

Very good job,
Ray

Hi Frederic,
Whatever you did for this one, the outcome is absolutely stunning. The vertical perspective is perfect and the light, the stars, the northern lights, and the well lit tent - perfect - give yourself a good slap on the back - well done and TFS. Gerald

Hi Frederic,
Splendid image indeed! Emerald green of the aurora is truly beautiful. Orion also can be seen definitely by the very appropriate shutter speed. The balance of light between the tent and aurora is also superb.

Bonjour Frederic,

Voila un de mes reves: assister un jour a une aurore et la prendre en photo.
J aime beaucoup le rendu ici avec l apport de la tente et le bonne equilibre d exposition de l ensemble. En regard des 20sec de pose, je suis aussi agreablement surpris de l apparente netteté sur les etoiles (Orion se devine tres bien sur l horizon).
Il va falloir que je finisse par le faire ce voyage en Islande en hivers...

Yves.

Frederic,

Again this is a fantastic shot! It looks as though it's not even on this planet. The stars are so alive and feel so close. Absolutely amazing!

And your technique is brilliant!

Thank you, thank you!
