Before & After

The image is taken with a Nikon Z 6 and a Nikkor 14-24/2.8G ED on a FTZ adaptor, but the basics are the same how to achieve more details out of your image in post-processing. As seen on the image on the left-hand side it’s very dark and dull, but more natural of how Auroras look for the naked eye. While on the right-hand side it edited and processed to look as the artist wants it to look like, all bright, depth, colorful etc.

EXIF: Nikon Z 6 + FTZ adaptor + Nikkor 14-24/2.8G ED @ 14 mm, f/2.8, 10s, ISO 1600
