Summary
DescriptionFaint aurora, a meteorite and some clouds over Tuntorp.jpg | English: Faint green picket fence aurora borealis, northern lights and some clouds over Tuntorp, Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. A meteorite also made an appearance in the middle of the photo; it burned for about 2-3 sekunds. The photo is made as a panorama from three photos, a trick I learned from another aurora photographer, and I thought I’d share with people here who might like to try similar shots. When you photograph the aurora, your camera is almost always tilted upward which results in leaning buildings and trees. Correcting that, you get those big pesky empty triangles in the lower corners. So you take your main photo, and then add one on each side of it to fill in those triangles. That way you get a decent composition too. This is not something you need to think about if you shoot auroras in a landscape that doesn’t require perspective correction. For newbie aurora hunters, I always recommend starting at a beach or on a hill, where you can enjoy the show instead of thinking about the technicalities. |

![]() | NOTE: This image is a panorama of Faint aurora, a meteorite and some clouds over Tuntorp consisting of 3 frames that were merged or stitched in Photoshop using a Perspective projection. As a result, this image necessarily underwent some form of digital manipulation. These manipulations may include blending, blurring, cloning, and colour and perspective adjustments. As a result of these adjustments, the image content may be slightly different from reality at the points where multiple images were combined. This manipulation is often required due to lens, perspective, and parallax distortions. العربية ∙ Boarisch ∙ български ∙ dansk ∙ Deutsch ∙ Zazaki ∙ Ελληνικά ∙ English ∙ Canadian English ∙ British English ∙ Esperanto ∙ español ∙ eesti ∙ suomi ∙ français ∙ हिन्दी ∙ hrvatski ∙ magyar ∙ italiano ∙ 日本語 ∙ 한국어 ∙ македонски ∙ മലയാളം ∙ Nederlands ∙ polski ∙ português ∙ русский ∙ sicilianu ∙ slovenščina ∙ svenska ∙ Türkçe ∙ українська ∙ 中文 ∙ +/− |
