AstroLandscapes #46 (The Aurora Files) - The Beauty of Her Dance

[FenlandPaul]

Water and aurora mix really well. I was after as many water-based scenes as I could find in Senja, but I also wanted to create some images that spoke to the special time my wife and I were having on this unexpected break together.

One night we combined the two just a few minutes drive from the cabin in which we were staying. We noticed this fishing jetty earlier in the day, alongside which was a lovely open hut, stacked with firewood, which was open to the public to come and enjoy a nice meal cooked over an open fire. The aurora was kicking off nicely and so after capturing the scene I wanted with my wife in the frame, we indulged in a selfie. 

The first image I called “The Beauty of her Dance”. Shot on a Canon 6D with Samyang 14mm f/2.8, foreground a 30s exposure at ISO3200 and f/4, and sky 6s at ISO6400 and f/2.8. Edited and blended in LR and PS. Same settings for the second “selfie” image, which I haven’t named. Enjoy!

The only problem with these is that they don't feature me and my partner   

Both excellent images.  They must be special to you.

Very happy to take commissions, Paul. 🤣 

Yes, it’s one of the more special pictures for me - some lovely memories caught up in it.
