Krabbe and Seagel. You'd think they'd take a picture at a beach.

It's not photoshopped . Just some hard work . It's amazing what you can pull off with the right camera and a couple flashes .

Okay, I kinda live in aurora town. This is pretty normal to me.

The cloud is moving nearer still. Aurora Borealis comes in view. Aurora comes in view. And Reuben Krabby camped, camped so far away.

Fucking amazing! It's things like that erasure me that it's always worth having a good camera!
viabledreams
Any camera can do this, pretty much. Just need a tripod and the ability to sync an off-camera flash.

This is a total lie. There is no fucking way he only took one photograph.

long exposure on the right, flash on the left

I meant for the entire trip, there is no way the camera was only used for one single shot. But either way.

socraticirony
This is definitely photoshopped. At least a composite. There isn't enough light to freeze the skier and capture the sky.
Thatguywaywayoverthere
*sees good post* *feels need to shit on post* Number benefitted: 0. Number belittled: 1; OP. Success?
NotFarEnough
I bet this was long exposure, with flash taken as the skier passed. Simple stuff, gives you bright enough background and crisp foreground
pussycatslayer
I dont think it's a long exposure.. just because of how clear the skier is and how crisp the snow is...
CheezyMcBurgersonSmith
Wat? .... Wat? 1. Flash captures the skiier. 2. Long exposure captures the aurora. So, 1-Xmin exposure, flash once, best of both worlds.
ahsah
It's called off camera lighting. It's what we photographers used to freeze action and add light before the invention of photoshop.
iwantashortnameforonceohshit
and here we have the classic imgurian talking out of their ass..
PluckyPlucker
Yea there is, the stars aren't streaking so the exposure would be just a few seconds high iso plus a remote flash for when skier goes by
socraticirony
Yep you're right. It's a slow sync flash. My mistake.

13s, ISO3200, f/5.6 for depth. In my experience 13s is the maximum you can use at Arctic Circle without getting star trails.

Obviously photoshop is used photos have always been manipulated. Doesn't discredit the photo.
DJItalia
It's not. Krabbe is an incredible photographer http://www.pinkbike.com/u/reubenkrabbe/
speedywrx
Get ready to suck. I suspect this is a long exposure of the AB & as the skier comes into frame he pops the flash freezing his motion

Yep concur. And before anyone calls out the "no flash" in the exif data, that's b/c the camera didn't pop the flash. He triggered it himself

It had to be. The aurora borealis is bright but I don't think it's bright enough to have the snow reflect it's color. Or am I stupid?
canuckfanatic
The photograph is a long exposure, which captures all the light in the image, even dim ones. He then used a flash to capture the skiier 1/2
RodanMurkharr
The snow can reflect aurora borealis, it's especially noticeable if you are doing a long exposure.
canuckfanatic
as he passed through the frame. Without the flash, the skiier would not have reflected enough light to be captured in the exposure. 2/2

This is also backed up by the photo's metadata.
