Went on a Aurora hunt early this month. On a unusually quiet Aurora season this was a really good day. The night was really cold with temperatures somewhere between -15 and -20°C. Adjusting the camera and gear was hard and batteries drained quickly. The back of the camera was covered with ice after my breath froze there while looking through the viewfinder.
The difficult shooting conditions made me shoot this shot slighly out of focus, as adjusting the manual focus in the dark was tricky. I tried to minimize the effect by some unsharp mask gymnastics. Hope it works.
Post Challenge: Thanks everybody for your votes and helpful comments.
4th place in two free study challenges in a row is a real confidence booster. I will be shooting hard for the rest of the month trying to finally get me another free study ribbon.
