The amount of color detail in this image is amazing. I went to a location I had never been to before – which is always a gamble – but made it work somehow! Hunting for compositions in the dark is always a challenge. In any case, I saw the initial “hit” in the data, immediately jumped into the car, and drove eight hours north to get away from the horrible cloud cover over much of the Midwest Great Lakes region. No one really saw this coming, and we had recently been burned by the solar storm that was but wasn’t, i.e., the X-class event that never materialized. The aurora sparked on this night was from a combination of an M-class solar flare and a CME on their own, they were not much, but together, they sure packed a punch. “The solar storm that wasn’t but was: the events that unfolded from Noveminto Novemwill stay with me forever. “Aurora Sherbet in the Apostles” by Marybeth Kiczenski. These photos of the Northern Lights are considered the best of 2021. As a photographer himself, Zafra looks not only for images taken by some of the most renowned photographers but also for new talents and for new locations where the Northern Lights haven’t been photographed before. Take a look at some of our favorite photos from the list, which was curated by Capture the Atlas' Dan Zafra. As the southernmost state in Australia, the Northern Lights can be seen there from March to September. For instance, David Oldenhof's lovely photo of the aurora reflecting in the waters of a lake was taken in Tasmania. Both the Northern and Southern hemispheres are represented, lest you think that the lights are only visible in places like Sweden or Norway. From classic green, blue, and purple to yellow and pink, all of the colors are present. The gallery of images is also interesting in that it shows the wide variety of auroras that exist. And in each image, the Northern Lights dance their way across the sky, only enhancing these already excellent landscape photos. The list takes us from remote areas of Russia to the Alaskan forest to an Icelandic volcano. They've selected the 25 best photos from photographers around the world and the results are as incredible as you can imagine.

Thanks to them, we're able to enjoy the beauty of the polar lights no matter where we live. Unfortunately, these auroras are only visible in certain parts of the world, so that's where photographers come into play. When this natural light show takes over the sky, it makes for an incredible moment.
The Northern Lights are one of Earth's greatest gifts. That way, you can see more detail in the foreground while retaining the detail in the Northern Lights. To get the most out of this opportunity, I took a combination of shots: one for the foreground and one for the sky.
Thanks to the moonlight, the landscape was nicely illuminated, and I got a decent balance with the overwhelming display of the aurora borealis. I had a certain vision of the photo I wanted, and because of the extreme weather, I had to build the photo in stages. The weather was extremely difficult the temperature was 34 degrees below zero, but flames like these make you forget the temperature. The perfect conditions for shooting the Northern Lights came together: frost, ice, a full moon, a clear night, and no wind. This image was captured in February in Teriberka, in the Kolsky District of Murmansk Oblast, Russia, on the Barents Sea coast. “Nature is mysterious and unpredictable, and often leaves us open-mouthed at the inexplicable manifestations of its power.
