Makes me hungry for steamed hams.

I thought this was the shining opening scene for a second

You are an odd fellow but I must say, you steam a good ham.

That specific night there reds were really intense., probably the reddest I’ve see. This is caused by denser solar winds creating aurora at really high atmospheric levels. Usually below the reds is where the whites form, so often you’ll get all sorts of reds/pinks.

You try to, typically an aurora shot on an average night is 3-5 seconds. When it starts moving around even less because you want to capture the motion and if you leave the shutter open it just turns into a blob of color. This specific photo the exposure time was 6/10th of a second, and I had to lower the whites and highlights considerably in post to keep them from blowing out. When the aurora gets this bright, it’s like pointing your camera at a full moon basically.

It was so still. I honestly couldn't get over it

The bright ones absolutely are as bright as they look here on the picture. You'll have to be used to the low light levels, but I absolutely saw something like this image. It's much cooler in reality because the structure won't be as washed out and it'll be moving, sometimes really fast.

This is confusing me, wouldn't you just turn the exposure down to stop the aurora blowing out?

I love the magenta hues, and I’ve never seen those before. Have those been more prevalent lately?

To be honest, it was a trap! We hiked forward and got ourselves into a blizzard. All ended well 🥶

I don't know if you've ever been in a planetarium, but sometimes there's like this odd, lasery space alien music. BoeingBoeing77 says you can hear them so I wondered if it sounded like laser space music (in a joking way).

It's a trap!

I thought this is a Forza Horizon 4 fall screenshot lol

Saw a few in Iceland but they weren’t perceptible as auroras with the naked eye. Saw one the same night as this picture in Seattle and they were noticeably green to the naked eye and brighter on a camera.

I get this reference
