The aurora borealis changes constantly as you photographic it. It's quite captivating. What is especially interesting is that our eyes don't see the greens and magentas in the sky during this celestial light show, and the long exposure intensifies the brightness of the sky simply because the digital sensor can accumulate light over time. I took this picture on my last trip to Iceland. It's more difficult to see the aurora in southern Iceland because the sky is often overcast, but in the northern part of the country my photo tour group and I had three consecutive days of clear night skies. The photography was amazing. This pretty church was about 500 feet from the shore of the lake, and I felt at the time how perfect it would be had it been at the water's edge. Well, Photoshop made that possible!
