Shimmering northern light Photo

Photographer’s Note

Isafjördur is a hard one. The weather is always bad, so you rarely see northern lights. On this picture, you see the shimmer of the northern lights coming from the clouds. Hope you like it too.

Really Great View. Looks like place from another space :)

Hey Joachim,
Lucky you to see the northen lights, but I guess not quite so lucky to have Westfjord weather all winter! Looks ok here though. I like the contrast between the shimmering green light and the warm yellow-white of the snow-covered mountain.
Take care,
John

Hallo Joachim,
seit ich ein kleines Kind war, wollte ich Nordlichter sehen, und immer noch ist nichts draus geworden... Bin daher auf Fotos wie Deines angewiesen! Schön auch im Zusammenhang mit dem schneebedeckten Hang.
Liebe Grüsse, Johannes

Hello Joachim,
First of all I must thank you for this post! I guess you had hard time to capture it! I wouldn't say it is technically excellent as to me it lacks sharpeness (maybe the compression was too high) and maybe also some contrast. Anyway, it is very good that you included snowy mountain on the frame to give an idea of the perspective.
Lucky you :-)
Cheers,
Pris.
