One of the challenges for me when shooting auroras is to capture a sense of the scale. The wider the lens, the more you diminish the events in the sky. The narrower the lens, the less of the action you get in the frame.

And then there's a question of how close you push elements of the scene into the foreground. The lens choice also plays with the perspective. Am sure a few of the more dedicated landscape photographers here can attest to the tendency for ultra wide lenses to make an otherwise magnificent mountain range look small and trivial.

Would love to see what other folks here are doing with the fish-eye perspective. How to lean into it, versus trying to subdue it.
