Aurora Over Iceland

Auroras can be seen in a wonderful variety of colors combined in different ways, forming beautiful and phantasmagoric shapes that can last for several minutes. The vertical panorama above seems to reveal one of these epic moments with the incredible shape of a bird flying with a running rabbit. In the background sky, the constellation Ursa Major (the Big Dipper) is well visible in the top center, with the star Alioth marking the "eye" of the bird. Below is an annotated version of the image with lines drawn over it, which helps to reveal this personal interpretation of the scene.


The vertical panorama consists of three frames captured with a  Nikon D810a DSLR camera, using a wide-angle 14mm lens set to f/2,8, with an ISO 2500 and an exposure time of 15 seconds. – Space.com
