12th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Northern Lightspeed
This was our final night in Iceland. We took the trip hoping to see the northern lights and get some pretty pictures. It took a couple tries to get used to photographing them. Luckily, fate saved the best night for last. I was dialed in as the lights moved directly above us. I turned my camera 90 degrees straight up and captured this great shot that looks like you are taking off into warp speed. This is the widest angle my camera could go and the lights were still bigger. Very awe inspiring.
