Have you ever seen the Northern Lights? If you have, you understand. If you haven’t, no one can truly describe them to you. To stand out under the northern sky and watch this bizarre event unfold allows your thoughts to delve down to a deeper level of wonder.
The Aurora Borealis are best described simply as magic. Again, if you’ve seen them, you understand, if you haven’t, this video will allow you to comprehend exactly what the Northern Lights are and how they move a little bit better.
Video = Polar Spirits by Ole C. Salomonsen
“The video is shot using stills and assembled together for best possible resolution and dynamic range. In this video however, for the first time, I have also chosen to include some real-time video footage. This is to better show how furiously fast and beautiful the polar spirits can dance! The two sequences which are shot in real-time (in the middle of the video) could never have been recreated using still photos, regardless what camera you are using.”
I have seen them. They didn’t look this good. This vid does them justice.
