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.
