Shot at the fields of Festvåg, north of Bodø in Norway :D !

Me and my friend chase this phenomen like crasy from day one and through the whole season on every outbreak !

Looking around us for the lights we drove out in the dark winter night !
On our way to the location we was a bit over-excited ! He was driving and i looked at the data`s and looked out of the window searching for typical signes of outbreaks ! We drove around north of Bodø and saw something allmost everywhere ! But the outbreaks wheren`t what we wanted ! So we kept on driving north ;)

Suddenly we see this long line of auroras right over the Mjelle mountains :D
We parked the car in the middle of the road and hit the emergency lights and park lights, and ran out to the field ! I have my camera and tripod in my hands, running away from the car, then ! seeing behind me i see a giant V-shaped outbreak !
I didn`t hesitate setting up my camera and some high settings and just shoot !
I think i captured the feeling and thrill by chasing this phenomen pretty good to !

Wow this is a gorgeous shot! The only correction I could offer is not shooting as open with the aperture, give it a bit sharper look going down :D But I still really love it and you captured the excitement wonderfully from the description, I guess it never really occurred to me that there are Aurora chasers haha :D
