Aurora Borealis Over The Alaskan Wilderness
The Northern Lights dance above the snow-covered trees and mountains of Alaska's great wilderness. This 10 second long-exposure was captured during one of the more active sequences seen that night from freezing temperatures high up on a peak near Chena Hot Springs, outside of Fairbanks, Alaska.
With the simple composition and lack of man's presence, this one turned out to be one of my favorites from the whole trip!
After getting this shot, I headed inside the little yurt we had access to at the top of the mountain to warm up a bit. I had to chuckle (to myself of course) as I entered and saw a scene with hoards of Japanese tourists huddled around the heaters with one valiantly trying to scrape all the ice that had frozen onto his camera lens. Needless to say, there were plenty of challenges in shooting scenes like this in 25 below.
