Green Stream
by Orvaratli
Finally things where perfect for Aurora photography. There is snow on the ground, small moon, no wind and fairly active display of Aurora.
Having snow on the ground makes such a difference in good Aurora photo. It gives the image much more character to have some snow.
This one is shot north east of Reykjavik near Mt. Esja. I have known about this location for a while and always wanted to photograph it along with Aurora. I knew that on this very cold evening (-15C) the river would be frozen adding nice foreground element to the picture.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful work.

Splendid work! Indeed a terrific foreground with great textures and details. How did you manage such a good depth of field, considering the aurora needs a small f-stop?

Great works, thanks

Perfect shot; I don’t think you could get better.

Excellent work. I’m Canadian so I’ve seen a lot of “northern lights”. You amuse me when you say “very cold” and -15C. Very cold begins at -30C. What time of year was this shot?

Amazing image and thanks for giving the location. I’d like to see that done on all Earth Shots!

Absolutely surreal. Like from another world . . . a little scary but beautiful at the same time.

As a photographer myself, I am amazed at the beauty you captured. Using location scouting as I do, you did an incredible job. Combining creativity, knowledge of science and design you have provided the privilege for others to live vicariously from the warmth of their own homes. Thank you!
