Incredibly beautiful image and very creatively captured. Does the Nikkor lens auto focus work on the Canon?

Beautiful shot, well done. I must make it to Iceland one of these days. A group of us keep meaning to, so maybe this is the inspiration we need.

When is the best time of year for catching the aurora?

Hi Örvar,

Stunning image. I am blown away by its sharpness and clarity. You say that you shot this at f/2.8. The image looks sharp all the way from the foreground to the background. Did you expose for the mountains and the foreground at a much higher f number like f/16 or so and combined multiple images together or was the whole scene exposed at f/2.8 once? I know this is shot at wide angle but still at f/2.8, it looks crazy sharp throughout. Another question ... did you have to use an adapter to fit the Nikon lens to your 5D Mark II? If so, what is it? Well done, blue in my book and should have scored in the high 7's or even into 8's. I guess a lot of people may have thought that they have seen too much of the Aurora, however that doesn't take anything away from the greatness of this image. Wish you much success with your new lens.
