The camera tip is seriously true!! Our phone cameras are much better at picking up the light than our eyes are :)

[@hians8734]

Shutter speed allows a camera to take more than one frame and merge them to make the image appear brighter. (Cameras can collect dim light and accumulate it)

[@Cyko..]

"Your camera may be better at detecting them than your naked." Wait. Are you saying I have better chances at seeing these lights if I'm naked? Well no wonder I didn't see them. Here I was fully dressed. Silly me! Thanks for the tip!

[@shaneseem-sin3856]

No wonder I saw them as clear as day ;)

[@rosemariebredahl9519]

Ty for tip about cell phone camera. 👍

[@travismcdaneld9656]

Seriously recommend trying it!!

It was hot pink and green near Sequim

[@JenIGottaSay]

We saw a bit of a green and pink glow, but my son's phone camera showed amazing colours!

[@martihetrick609]

It would been nice knowing the time is for these

[@mapples007]

If you dont want to see it with your human eyes, why even go in person. Google images will be better than your phone picture.
Just look with your EYES. Be human again.

I don’t but for me the sky itself must be the show not the picture from my cell phone. Doesn’t feel quite right, like those internet influeners when you learn they never traveled anywhere.

[@AsianDude1]

[@anna3301]

[@zikemdg]

Oooh, so pretty, but this is is not good though and the world could be crumbling around ears and they would still be like, everything is just fine folks, nothing to see there, just keep doing what we tell you.

[@gravelguitar9443]

UH........
WHY IS HWY 99 CALLED AURORA????
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BA-wo1yx]

Nothing compared to my time in Fairbanks.

[@oxomaticman]

Yeah, and the heat during the summer is nothing like the heat in the Outback in Australia. Or when there's a thunder storm, it's nothing like the ones in the Carolinas. Ice in the winter? It doesn't even compare to Chicago.

[@terryleiter3241]

Its true about the phone. Icould see it better in my photos I took
