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.

Congratulations on your ribbon, a wonderful image, indeed I was fortunate enough to see this displayed on the wall of a shop in Reykjavik so it has even more sentiment for me. Thank you also for the write up about the technique (fascinating and informative) but also using the Nikon lens on a Canon 5D, I just hadn't even thought about this but I will certainly consider it myself. Thanbks again and well done.
