Lit from Above
by Ole Christian Salomonsen
My friend Truls standing there on the road, doing the same as me, shooting one of the most insane auroras from this season! This was shot just outside the city of Tromso, Norway.
Curtains, bows, coronas, red auroras, this night had it all. In this shot I aimed from close to the ground using my 15mm Fullframe Fisheye to dig in most possible of the action, using the road and my friend to put things into perspective.
Equipment: Canon EOS 5D Mark II + Canon EF 15mm 2.8 Fisheye, f/3.5 6sec, ISO3200.
