Auroral Crown

 

Single 5 second RAW exposure at f=35mm and ISO1600 taken with a fixed tripod mounted Canon 600d DSLR.

After a successful night photographing the Aurora over the harbour in Reykjavik in 2017, we looked up to see streams of charged atoms falling vertically towards us under the influence of the Earth's magnetic field. We were looking up into the auroral crown. Prior to the availability of artificial intelligent software for image processing, I was unable to present an image that reflected the reality of our jaw dropping experience. I have used Starnet GUI, Topaz Denoise AI, Affinity Photo 2 and Images Plus to obtain the above result which gives some idea of the fantastic visual experience you get from being directly under an auroral crown.
