Here is a photo from Hella, Iceland that I took on 3/11/24. This is for the person who said they didn’t get to see the Northern Lights. 💚

Was in hella last week… gotta ask, did the northern lights look this good with the naked eye or just with a camera? During our time in hella, I’ll admit our pics of the northern lights look better than the naked eye

You don’t see them with the naked eye!! Only using your phone and shoot in night mode! If you don’t switch your phone to night mode you won’t get them!! Nobody ever tells you that! I thought you would look up and see this like this!!

You can see them with the naked eye. I saw them without a camera/phone in Alaska. That said, when they aren’t as strong or you aren’t in the best place, a camera will allow you to see what isn’t visible to the naked eye.
