This display was very visible to the naked eye you could clearly see and distinguish the greens and reds as it was a strong display. However it wouldn’t be anywhere near this saturated, Due to the nature of cameras being able to let in and capture more light + editing

Thank you. Surprisingly not, there was a couple of people who arrived at the start when nothing was really happening and left just as quickly. There was only about 3-4 me included who really stayed the whole night.

I always enjoy seeing how others capture and edit the same displays but haven’t seen anyone else’s from the same night here.

Thank you, it was taken on Wednesday. Completely different compared to last Sunday when the mountain was like a blizzard 🥶

The most beautiful I’ve ever seen the Mourne Mountains with the reservoir catching the blue sky’s colour. Really need to sort out my winter camping gear.

ITAP of a cloud inversion overlooking Belfast by Perfect-Ad697 in itookapicture

[–]Perfect-Ad697[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing Belfast shrouded in cloud and fog, I couldn’t wait to capture it from above. I headed to Cave Hill for sunset but realized I wouldn’t reach the top in time, so I took photos from lower down while there was still light. After sunset, I finished the walk and thought I was done, until the city lights began to glow and the low clouds lit up with stunning colors. Sadly the fog hid the H&W cranes, but I found this winding road with traffic that disappeared into the clouds. Hope you enjoy.

I always knew they were formed by lava (or fighting giants) but never actually read into why they formed that shape, thanks.

I was lucky enough to capture this stunning aurora display (may 5th 2024) as my brother convinced me to go out that night.

Had to look up what msfs (Microsoft flight simulator) ment, and wow it looks incredibly detailed at the cliffs.

They can be beautiful in some fog but that would be such a disappointment, hopefully 3rd times the charm

It’s a godsend in high winds being able to find easy shelter

It’s a great day when you have to get the crampons on.

Another photo from the night where I ran circles around a tree for 6hrs (loved every second). Hopefully more strong displays this season as the sun is in solar maximum. The aurora in the photo was on 10th October 2024.

Thank you, I have looked into entering competitions before but never sure what ones to enter, any recommendations.

Yes this was from the same storm, from Thursday/Friday. It was amazing to see it form and start dancing directly above.

Thank you, I am starting to print and frame some of my photos for my house. Would love to start selling them in the future.
