Can you share a photo?
- grafelic 2y agoI took one semi successful photo using my crappy beat-down a20e Samsung phone. It doesn't do what we saw justice at all. https://imgur.com/5mlD22W https://imgur.com/5mlD22W
- frfl 2y agografelic's image looks totally black on my crappy laptop monitor unless I turn brightness up to 100%, even then it's barely noticeable. Here's a color enhanced version of grafelic's photo that shows the color bands more easily, https://i.imgur.com/IS8JWD8.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/IS8JWD8.jpeg Added some blur after color adjustments to remove pixelation artifacts.
- bozhark 2y agoI’m b mobile, it’s still black with a lil highlight. Near, but definitely not retrospective
- gareth_untether 2y agoWhen I took photos of the northern lights on my Sony RX1 the colours became much stronger. I assumed all digital cameras captured the colours better than our eyes.
- dylan604 2y agoYes, an electronic sensor is much more sensitive than our eyes. However, even within digital sensors, some are more sensitive than others. Add that sensitivity with the ability to do long exposure, and you can capture things we will never see with our naked eyes. Even with binoculars or telescopes, our eyes will just seem more photons, but pretty much without the color. That's where the digital sensors really "shine"
- erikbye 2y agoOur eyes definitely do not see "pretty much without the color". Born and raised in Norway I've watched more aurora borealis than I care to count. On many occassions you could see all kinds of colors and dancing lights with the naked eye, very strong and vivid, too. Important to be in a dark environment without light pollution. At the arctic circle during polar night you will see northern lights that almost match the most stunning photos you have seen.
- grafelic 2y agoHere are some quality photos from Denmark: https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/vejret/saa-vildt-ser-det-ud-se-nattens-nordlys-her https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/vejret/saa-vildt-ser-det-ud-se-nat...
- bavell 2y agoIncredible!
- joshvm 2y agoCurrently pretty good at the South Pole. The pink skies are wild. Green auroras are fairlty common over the winter, but it's unusual for it to be this red. If you're interested in a real time video, here's one I captured a few weeks ago from our "back yard" (excuse the Instagram link) https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6T27pEO7dQ/?igsh=eXJyOGtuY2l5Y2pt https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6T27pEO7dQ/?igsh=eXJyOGtuY2l...
- joshvm 2y agoHere are some additional photos from the current storm - https://www.instagram.com/p/C60Y-gIu4Ob/?igsh=N3AwaGZzODN3eDJ1 https://www.instagram.com/p/C60Y-gIu4Ob/?igsh=N3AwaGZzODN3eD... Sadly we have pretty high winds at the moment and visibility is poor due to all the blowing snow, but if you're high up (eg an observation deck), it's a bit clearer.
- cinntaile 2y agoUnrelated but why are you at the South Pole?
- robk 2y agoAmazing thanks for sharing
