[漢羅] 冰島天頂 ê 捲螺仔極光

這个景色可能看起來敢若是幻影，毋過伊其實是 tī 冰島。 這个叫做 Gatklettur ê 石拱門，是 tī 冰島西北爿 ê 海岸。 前景有一寡仔較大粒 ê 岩石，差不多嘛有一公尺大。 岩石下底 ê 雺霧，其實是海湧經過長時間感光了後 ê 平均運動。 這張 是 kā 舊年 11 月彼陣，用仝一台 kha-mé-lah、踮仝一个地點、佇仝一暗 翕--ê 幾若張前景 kah 背景相片組合起來 ê 影像。 會揀這个地點是因為前景媠甲親像是一幅圖。 會揀這个時間是因為背景多彩 ê 極光。 這个 tī 石拱門天頂 ê 捲螺仔極光，是天文攝影師 這世人看過上光 ê 極光。 是講，極光波 tī 這个冷吱吱 ê 暗暝咧 跳舞，已經跳幾若點鐘久矣。 按呢這个捲踅 ê 圖樣會隨無去。 遙遠 ê 天頂有足濟天星。 地球那咧自轉，這寡天星就 那踅 北極星 附近 ê 天球北極咧行。

[English] Spiral Aurora over Iceland

The scene may look like a fantasy, but it's really Iceland. The rock arch is named Gatklettur and located on the island's northwest coast. Some of the larger rocks in the foreground span a meter across. The fog over the rocks is really moving waves averaged over long exposures. The featured image is a composite of several foreground and background shots taken with the same camera and from the same location on the same night last November. The location was picked for its picturesque foreground, but the timing was planned for its colorful background: aurora. The spiral aurora, far behind the arch, was one of the brightest seen in the astrophotographer's life. The coiled pattern was fleeting, though, as auroral patterns waved and danced for hours during the cold night. Far in the background were the unchanging stars, with Earth's rotation causing them to appear to slowly circle the sky's northernmost point near Polaris.
