I wasn't sure whether I should upload this one or not, I think this picture has the least structure/elements of the photos I took that amazing night, but however - it was taken at a record breaking 6 second long exposure. Never ever have I managed to capture northern lights in such a short time. The reason I didn't do this better is because I had just arrived on the scene, driving like mad (mother of my baby girl was at the movies) and the minute she came home I was free to run outside and find a spot. Auroras wait for no-one (Well, maybe they wait for Olgeir). What do you think, should this picture get to stay?
