Aurora Over Laurentian Farmland, Quebec: A Captivating Night Sky Display
This is a truly breathtaking image capturing the ethereal beauty of the Aurora Borealis gracing the skies over the picturesque Laurentian farmland in Quebec. This stunning shot was taken last September, offering a glimpse into a fainter, yet equally captivating, aurora event compared to the more recent widespread displays.
The photographer, a newcomer to sharing their work, expresses an intention to learn and improve by observing the high level of photography seen here. This particular image was captured using a Pentax K-70 camera with a Samyang 10mm F2.8 lens. The settings used were ISO 1600 for 10 seconds, and the image was meticulously edited in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop (PS).
The response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, with many users expressing their admiration for the shot, describing it as "outstanding," "beautiful," and "unreal."
This photograph serves as a wonderful reminder of the natural wonders that can be witnessed in our own backyards, especially when viewed through the lens of dedicated astrophotography.
