Low Level Northern Lights

My first attempt at night photography outside of a lighted city. To say the least, it's challenging. This image was taken in high elevation wheat country on Badger Mountain in Central Washington State. The low-level northern light display on the horizon was a surprise.

Nikon D810
15s f/2.8 at 15.0mm iso4000 full exif

Love this image capturing the quiet wheat fields beneath that vast star-filled sky with the unexpected low-level northern lights adding a soft, magical glow along the horizon....V

So wonderfully subtle, that light from the Northern Lights. And, the milky way!
