Northern Lights tonight!!


Recommended Posts

Some cracking pics folks!! Got into work this morning and it seems like lots of people have seen them.. me not being one if them! Strange how the phone camera brings the colours out more than what you'd see with naked eye. Anyone know why this is? Is it something to do with the actual lenses or is it a software thing I'm wondering??

The cameras sensors are just more sensitive to light than our eyes,  more modern phone cameras have low light nightshot functions also,  I remember seeing the northern lights for the first time in Iceland years ago and how much of a anticlimax it was because I was expecting them to look like what I'd seen on the TV, they tend to time-lapse the video on the the TV to make them appear to be moving more quickly than they actually are .
