View Larger Reflected Arcs by Ole C. Salomonsen on Flickr.
The web is flowing over with pictures of spectacular auroras these days,
and I have thousands just from the last days, litterally speaking, and will
post later. But here I am posting a little different shot, beautiful auroras dancing
over arctic mountains at Senja, Northern Norway, reflected in a perfectly calm pond
in the foreground.
The scene was dark due to no moon, and even if I lightened up the foreground slightly,
the image may appear dark due to downsizing on some uncalibrated screens.

Shot this on sept 27/28th.
Amazing conditions currently from the flow from the sun. Barely time to be home.
Just have to charge the batteries and head out again!
I crawled out on a narrow slippery rock to be able to shoot this. Low standpoint, as low as my tripod allwoed me.
The river was very very calm, I could look straight through the surface to the bottom when the lights lit it up in the complete darkness.
Canon EOS 5D Mark II + Nikon 14-24G 2.8 @ f/2.8, ISO 3200.
Slightly underexposed so some noise was present, had to use som noise reduction. But overall satisfied with this location and composition.
