It took me a while to appreciate this. The familiarity of the subject is the reason.
Now, I look at those stars and I see how magical is feels - the image makes a connection between 'man' and the heavens - or 'space' if you prefer.
I think you're right - tho boat is especially important in this connection and it also allows for an obvious sense of size/scale. The green and black vignetting in and out along with the stars gleaming and sharp are especially impressive. I'm glad the manipulation here is that of a higher source than mere humanity- so congrats - you certainly have your finger on the pulse of beauty. |

12/22/2006 05:21:11 AM |
Awesome shot. Would you mind sharing how you managed to get the sky to be black rather than blue? (see third place image). All my aurora shots end up having a blue-ish sky and a very different green to what you were able to achieve. |

Another in the "Oh Wow!" category :) Beautiful shot. I'm a huge Northern Lights fan. There isn't much that's more awe-inspiring than the display they create. You've managed to captured an incredible show here. I have to ask if you've ever caught the red ones? My camera, at the time, was not capable of the task but I've seen them twice. Never have seen pics of them. Love the colors and detail. Keep up the wonderful photography. Added to the Ten pile :) |

Hmm... a challenge custom-made for Larus, but just in case there's ANY doubt, let's schedule it at the same time as an X3-class solar flare so there will be photographic nirvana sitting right outside his window. I think with a wider angle, you'd find that the streams of light spell out your name. Oh, and just for kicks, let's have heavy fog over at Shannon's house at the same time while he's setting up the telescope. Curse you, foul ribbon hog of the far north!
At least you had the dignity to keep the size below 720 pixels so the shot we vote on after this doesn't get an automatic 1 by comparison. Yeah, it's another 10, but this is the last one you get dammit! I'm burning my mouse after I click the button, I swear. ;-P |

See, that's what suck about 'Expert Editing' - you're left questioning whether someone has expertly captured a moment or expertly crafted one. This would be easy to score in 'Advanced"...
I was born & raised in the far north of rural Michigan & I've seen nights like this before. If this was photoshop you deserve a 9 & if this was a capture then you deserve an 11 so I'll just give you the average of those two..

Best Image of the lot, I would guess Larus since this is probably Iceland and the image is a bit soft in the corners hence the 24mm on the 5D :)

Holy sh*t! I thought I'd seen all of the aurora borealis I could stand and now THIS! That's stunning. The green tones are like the sky was painted with emeralds!! |
