### Aerial. Aurora. --- ![PSX_20180426_215610-01_wm.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV5WevZ98YdfP2KwiuWNwEcwB2AD5QyhAg1pCgWY4Jq21/PSX_20180426_215610-01_wm.jpg) ----- **Going 800 km/h I sat there fully covered in blankets** trying to capture this 5 seconds long exposure. Capturing the picture above took over 40 times until I was satisfied. My body was hurting everywhere since I had no tripod with me on the plane to stabilize my camera.*(why would you ever?)* While trying to work these **insanely beautiful Northern lights** I was laughed at by my neighboring passenger. She didn't think I would succeed and well.. I kinda had to prove her otherwise ever since she made that statement right :P? I spotted these mysterious tints on my way back from **San Fransico** while flying over Greenland back to Holland. The sad thing is that I traveled to Iceland two weeks before this plane trip, and sadly I didn't see any of the beautiful aurora while being there!! Live made up for that sad experience by throwing me these photons just a little time later when I was **least** expecting them Just **try to imagine** how it must have looked like, me sitting there all energetic after 5 hours of flight, all covered up to keep out as much light as possible from the cabin. See my **edits** way below :) ---- ![PSX_20180426_214546_wm.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ7oWya8mNDZgJiiL5pdskpZ4thRJK4X2CDKAsdWZPkj6/PSX_20180426_214546_wm.jpg) --- ###### Post-Processing .GIF ![ezgif-3-a64ede93fe.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaf1LRsyr7vVaFeTWFwr1ifn1k44kMwbzDUvT1XVbjCjg/ezgif-3-a64ede93fe.gif) ---- ###### Shot with a Canon fd 50mm @1.4 on my Sony A7II ---- _______ ![PSX_20171229_160240-02.jpeg](https://image.ibb.co/bEQ1NG/bannt.jpg) _______ **Thanks for your time, Feedback is always appreciated!** "*Emotions are there to be expressed, not to be suppressed and bottled up.
