northern lights

[gearjammer]

saw the northern lights last night to the naked eye they were dim and pretty washed out.
Different story when my daughter used her phone to take a pic, the colors were brilliant
very pretty funny though others tried to take pics with disappointing results finally figured out it was the
I-phones that were taking the really good pictures

Phones usually boost colors to make life look like it sucks less than it does. We used to do the same in professional photography because the world's colors are actually pretty bland. Kodachrome film did the same thing.
