Aurora over the Cabin. Credit: Jason Ahrns

Jason Ahrns captured this incredible shot of the Aurora on April 9, 2011 in Alaska.

“The light on the trees is just the light out the windows of my cabin. The auroral arc was pretty much directly overhead so I was looking up into it, where you can see more structure than when you’re looking from the side.”

Jason used a Nikon D5000 and a Sigma 10-20mm f4/5.6 lens at 10mm. The exposure was 30 seconds at f4 and ISO 800.
