Just so happens there was a boat-load of solar activity out that night. Cool, eh?

My only regret is the intense purple cast on the face. Anything I can do about that? Make myself look more warm/human/less vampire pale?

Hey Karl. Nice shot. It's been a number of years since I've experienced those northern lights. Grew up in a small town in Western Canada so I used to see them quite often. Not so much now.

Changing the color cast on your face is quite simple in Lightroom. Just grab a brush and paint a mask on your face and then adjust the White Balance and Tint to your liking. Hope this helps.
