Description and Details: I really didn`t expect to see northern lights for two nights in a row!
On the first night, the Aurora caught me off guard since it´s really rare here in Germany. Since I wasn´t able to find an interesting foreground that night, I had to drive to this lake the next day. The lake was slightly frozen and the view was perfect. After waiting for two hours, the sky turned pink.
It´s a 39-panel-panorama with three rows with 13 panels each.
For every panel I used ISO 1600, f/2.8 & 10 seconds exposure time.
