northern full moon Photo

Photographer’s Note

Pics took in Blachford Lake Lodge ( 25 minutes by plane from Yellowknife). It was my first northern lights that saw in my life and it was unforgetable. The pics is little bit noisy 'cause my ISO was high (800)

Hello Virgile,
A nice image of a scenery I would like to see one day also.
Some flares around the moon and some noise, otherwise OK.
Regards,
Didier

I like how the Moon i sorounded by northern lights. You have big luck to see his phenomena. I'm in Antarctica at the moment but in my area isn't southern lights.

Bonsoir Virgile
Belle arabesque!
L'ilot arboré renforce le contexte.
Bravo

So beautiful and evokes much sense of awe and mystery. I really don't mind the lens flares either. It kind of adds to surreal-ness of the scene.

For the noise, you should try downloading NeatImage - a noise filter.

Virgile,

Never mind the noise or lens flare, this pic is amazing! Dramatic Aurora, the green colour is beautuful. What a sight it must have been. Does it move as you watch it?

Yo Virgile!

Amazing colours and great flow in the photo. I like the composition of a very low horizon so the sky can feature.

Cheers
