The picture above isn’t photoshoped, it is a real northern lights photo shot by Sigurdur H Stefnisson, an Icelandic professional photographer who has developed great techniques to capture this difficult to photograph phenomenon on film since 1985.
This is the caption for the image above:
Iceland is within that belt and the auroras are very common The auroral ovals widens when solar activity is high and solar winds strong. Here Siggi captured this beautiful scene of the auroras in full swing and the red color is caused by the solar particles hitting high altitude oxygen.
