This is why I go up the mountain every day, and it makes things more fun when able to capture such cool shapes within the aurora.
Oh an may i add, it has been some heavy days lately, have to dress for standing still, which means when moving up a mountain with all the camera gear it is quite hard.
But it is all worth it for a shot like this, I am very proud of this cause I feel I was finaly able to capture the aurora where it speaks for itself with almost no foreground help.
For the post processing: contrast +30, clarity +32, lower by 300 temp to bring forth the stars, increased whites and blacks by a smidge, reduced the purple saturation a tad, lens correction.
Used hyperfocal distance to get everything in focus, so wasnt much need for sharpening really, but added some to it.

This is just, wow, I can't even explain. The lights sure do know how to show that nature can be a very beautiful thing. I kinda feel envious that I'm unable to see them in person (though I put it on my bucket list to do so), but whenever I see images involving the lights, I'm just always blown away by the beauty of it. I especially love this shot and all the others that are posted here. (I don't even know what else to say right now, this is my first actual critique that I have ever given. XD
