Location: Bifröst, Iceland
Date: Oct 29, 2007
Aperture: f/4.0

 Took this just outside my home. Saw some northern lights and decided to take a few shots. They weren't really lively that night. I decided to make it black&white just for the fun of it and I like how it turned out. The PP is really basic, RAW conversion and editing all done in Adobe® Photoshop Lightroom™

The basics were, cropping, levels, saturation, noise reduction and sharpening.

I thought the main attraction of the aurora was the amazing colours.

I think color has more impact but the BW version is very nice as well.
