North Iceland images part II - Aurora over snowy pyramids

[the_marshall_101]

This was taken on a 3/9 aurora alert - which later exploded into something much greater - at least a 6 by my reckoning?!  This wasn't quite the peak but it turned out the most beautiful shot of the session IMO.  As with all aurora shots, there's an element of luck in getting them to come into your composition but I'm pleased I was there to capture it!

Found a nice roadside composition north of Akureyri - again, stroke of luck with the great shaped mountains!

Beautiful. I think the peak of action is a relative thing. In my opinion, this is the peak as you capture it! Very breathtaking.

As i mentioned on the other thread, this is the best Aurora shot I've seen to date. Absolutely magnificent

Those auroras, certainly moody things aren't they?  When they are on they are on big time.  Most of the time they just tease you.  Nice image.

Peak of beauty rather than magnituude, yes!  Thanks

Thanks Kevin. They are certainly not very understanding when it comes to me trying to get them into my frame!
