Aurora Borealis Challenge

[RTK]

It is difficult to do it justice... but here is my attempt.

Where I used to live, up north in Sweden, the northen lights were so strong that you could almost here them 'crackling'.

...but not very realistic. Here is a photograph of an Alaskan aurora borealis.

I spent a great deal of time looking for Santa coming through your Northern Lights but was unable to find the little guy.

He is there isn't he?

Have a great Christmas and a wildly successful New Year.

Actually the aurora's can have a wide variety of appearances. There is a site with a wide variety of pics. You can find it here. I particularly liked the pics they had from the space shuttle showing how they look from space. There are also links to some really beautifully photographed examples as seen from Alaska.

Regards, Ross

PS - I thought I'd point out too that there is a second thread here on the auroras. Find it here.

I just didn't spot any vikings around ;-)) Are they comming in the next scene?

Wow, that's weird, no more than 10 minutes ago I was trying this, but gave up! Then I read your post, guess I'll have to try it over!

The above photograph is from the great web site of Dick Hutchinson who has put a great deal of effort into photographing aurora borealis.

Loads of great pictures!

Think about how much Nordic (Danish Vikings)influence there are in countries all over the world :-).
Even Australians that think they decent from British convicts, have Viking blood in their veins.

Viking Rules

Merry Christmas to everybody from a true Viking.

Only for the fun of IT.

Risto ... I think your Aurora Borealis scene is great ... I love the lines and waves in the actual sky and the green gradient blend to black below the trees. The trees are really neat.

I might give the aurora borealis a shot (aurora australis for those southern hemispherers viewing it around the southern celestial pole) ... I have been doing more real painting and working with Painter recently. I only wish Corel Painter had even a quarter of the good interface as XaraX does ... it would make it much better for working with.
