Sharing another example of my editing here. Or perhaps a glance at the potential of editing.
My preference for most photos is to push for a light and bright result. Not so much to make night look like day, that's going too far, but to avoid the heavy weight of dark blacks and heavy contrast. I like things soft, and recognise not everyone digs this approach. I want my aurora shots to sit next to my other work and feel balanced.
In this instance, the RAW file was a bit underexposed, which is probably ideal for many folks I think. Lots of people tend to like the strong blacks and rich colours. The second edit in this example is perhaps closer to where most folks might head. Still not strongly saturated beyond the defaults (which are pretty intense for my tastes).
The final two in the quad have been tweaked for colour balance and saturation. Just wanting to demonstrate how much "personal taste" can influence the final colours you see in an aurora image posted online. I get a little cranky about hyper-saturated auroras. A lot of folks are excited to see their first aurora and get a little disappointed when it didn't look the same to their eyes as it did the photoshop saturation slider!

Okey one more. This time my regular 14mm perspective, looking straight up at a corona. I picked this one from the same time of night, to match the other two 10mm shots in this thread.
I am struggling with editing these, because the colours are so intense. It looks un-natural, as though they are doctored. Yet I've backed off the saturation by double my usual amount. It really is an intense display when the big ones zip over head.
What colours are real? The camera is seeing a lot more colour than our eyes do. We did see the red and greens in the night, for sure. At times the sky was like daylight, but green and red. If you tinker with white-balance you can push those reds into purple, and the brighter greens into yellow hues. Reality is anything you want it to be on a night like this.

Was chatting to a friend today about the importance of having art in our lives. To focus our minds on creating art and expressing that aspect of ourselves. Art is like nature, we need to "touch grass" on a regular basis, and we need to "hold the brush" just as often.
Here's one of my favourite moments from last night. It's shot with a 10mm fisheye, so it's more than 180° of view from top to bottom. That burst of corona above the fjord is directly above my head, and then continues behind me to the south. The 10mm sees all of this.
I must take care to keep my head out of the shot in such moments :)

I probably should be back out there taking more photos, but I came home for a bit to get warm and have a hot meal. And part of me wants to head to bed, and part of me wants to sit out in the cold and hope to see a few more of these.
The beauty of the movement, the shapes, the colours and the transience is something I will never be able to fully grasp. But I keep trying.
I recently bought a 10mm F2.8 fisheye lens from 7Artisans, which arrived in the post just in time for this evenings action. I think me and the 10mm are gonna be good friends!

@craiglambie42 we have a lot of feedback like yours. X seems to do data retention. But don't worry, since you are in other's archive, you will still find part of your network (we can rebuild the full network graph from a fraction of the X archives). Moreover, the new release of OpenPortability app of #Jan20 2026 will allow users to explore the full social landscape and connect directly from there. So archives will be less and less needed.

People who can't see, right now, the accelerating of #mairikkkan fascism (not the risk of it starting), and the normalization of genocide, with 1a 4a 10a and 14a cancelled--are stooges, bootlickers, useful idiots or genocidal fascists. You need to make them explicitly state their posture.
Roll up your sleeves. It's been less than 6 months since #jan20.
Good night and good luck.

there is no question in my mind that MLK Jr was assassinated by the fascists within and outside of the USA government for his second phase of the Civil Rights Movement.
the second phase was:
1. opose the war in Vietnam
2. create public and private-led incentives to end poverty in America based on the principles of non-violence
3. make new non-violent economic models possible worldwide
and that meant spending a few billions then to make it happen…

“America’s Chief Moral Dilemma”, is called ”The 3 evils speech” when gutted of his re-interpretation of REPARATIONS:
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/02/martin-luther-king-hungry-club-forum/552533/THIS IS THE SPEECH, MLK uses to criticize liberals who edit out his call for a RADICAL REDISTRIBUTION OF ECONOMIC & POLITICAL POWER for not just the Negro but all races.
this was his ultimate goal: to end racism, Americans need to end poverty. to do that, Americans need to end the infinite growth, money making machine of militarism.

❝So long as one spark of prejudice lies latent in the heart of any white American, there is a possibility for it to develop into a [strikeout illegible] flame of intolerence at the unpredictable moments.
❝We must not become so complacent that we forget the struggles of other minorities. We must unite with oppressed minorities throughout the world. (Africa & Asia).

❝ King claimed that America made “peaceful revolution impossible by refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investments” (King, “Beyond Vietnam,” 157). King urged instead “a radical revolution of values” emphasizing love and justice rather than economic nationalism (King, “Beyond Vietnam,” 157).

❝ "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence", also referred as Riverside Church speech, is an anti-Vietnam war and pro-social justice speech delivered by Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4, 1967. The major speech at Riverside Church in New York, New York, followed several interviews[2] and several other public speeches in which King came out against the war in Vietnam and the policies that created the war.

❝ I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money, like some demonic, destructive suction tube. […] it is estimated that we spend $500,000 to kill each enemy soldier, while we spend only fifty-three dollars for each person classified as poor, and much of that fifty-three dollars goes for salaries to people that are not poor.

Also, my friend is coming over to do art together, and then kid & I are going to play Minecraft.
It's going to be a day of quiet resistance and rebellion in the manner which fascists most hate: a focus on care and concern for the world; on joy; and on strength through communion with like-minded fellow humans. I anticipate a great deal of reverence and laughter.

So, what is this I'm just now hearing about a Meta Twitter Blackout on Jan 20th?
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for it.
Just wondering where I can get more information.

I'm loving this British LONG LOST FAMILY show. It's about people who gave their children up for adoption looking to find them, and vice-versa... the kids looking for their birth parents.
Every episode usually has two stories, and they always end in good news (as I see it), and I need good news, and I will keep needing good news the closer we get to the 20th.

Be sure to stay at home if you can be there!
