Soomeone burning a little steel wool underr the northern lights
I thought I'd do something a little different on this image. Instead of spending a ton of time processing the image, I wanted to do something more natural. I literally spent more time fighting the urge to make more adjustment than adjusting. I only made 3 adjustments on this image, nothing else. I darkened the exposure. I raised the shadows up on the mountains and gravel bar. I leveled the picture. That's it. Nothing else. What do you think Should I have done more?
Using the glass like water, I can make one aurora show into two aurora shows. I prefer shooting the northern lights when there is a little cloud cover. It feel that they add another layer of depth. Shot along the Knik River, Butte, Alaska. 08/29/2022
