Welcome to Tromsø

Just a quick walk down in the harbour just below where I live, a 5min walk. I had just an hour before an appointment was due, but it was enough to get a few shots of this descent outbreak.

 

Not easy to mix city lights with aurora. But this outbreak was rather strong, and I blended down the lower part of the picture to preserve details.

 

The bridge is connecting Tromsø (which is an island) to the mainland. Down in the middle is the famous Arctic Cathedral, and up to the right on the mountain is the cable car restaurant bringing folks up to enjoy the view over Tromsø.

 

Canon 5D Mark II + Samyang 14mm @ f/2.8 - 4s - ISO3200

 

I like the Samyang 14mm more and more. Some correction has to be done in post processing, but thats an easy task.

 

Hope you like it.

 

Oh by the way, Happy New Year to all out there!!

 

Ole
