Title: Lost Lights
Post by: Shakyphoto (Slim) on July 24, 2016, 11:29:55 pm

Hunted for lights for 9 days.  First 6 days were bust.  Finally got it on 7th day.

Well worth the effort! Could you try to tone down the bright light in the lower left, though? It's really distracting.

Nice one. Agree with comment on the lower left light.

I have many other northern light photos at the same location which don't have this light.
I could definitely see how this light may be distracting.  Let's see if others see it the same.

Love the shot but also wish that light was behind one of those mounds.

Same feeling as the previous comment… Spectacular but would be better without the bright light.

I must be unusual  ;D .
I think the light keeps it "real" looking. Covering it up and the image looks a bit surreal.

I didn't suggest getting rid of it entirely, just toning it down a bit.
