如果你看到极光,请举起手臂。有了这些指示,两个晚上过去了,嗯,大部分时间都是云。然而,在返回这些山峰的第三个晚上,天空不仅放晴了,而且被壮观的极光照亮了。双手高举在空中,耐心和经验得到了回报,这张富有创意的特色图片是由三张不同的曝光合成的。拍摄地点是挪威北部罗弗敦群岛上靠近Svolvear镇的Austnesfjorden峡湾的山顶。时间是2014年初。虽然我们的太阳在几年前才度过了它11年周期的极小期,但表面活动正在加速,并且已经在地球上引发了更多壮观的极光。

Raise your arms if you see an aurora. With those instructions, two nights went by with, well, clouds -- mostly. On the third night of returning to same peaks, though, the sky not only cleared up but lit up with a spectacular auroral display. Arms went high in the air, patience and experience paid off, and the creative featured image was captured as a composite from three separate exposures. The setting is a summit of the Austnesfjorden fjord close to the town of Svolvear on the Lofoten islands in northern Norway. The time was early 2014. Although our Sun passed the solar minimum of its 11-year cycle only a few years ago, surface activity is picking up and already triggering more spectacular auroras here on Earth.
