This photo has very little editing done to it--the only editing I did was increasing the Vibrance to slightly enhance the colors in the photo.
To the naked eye, the Northern Lights actually look grey. (At least, that's how they looked to me when I saw these Northern Lights in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.)
It's crazy to see all the colors the camera could pick up that my eye could not.
Even just seeing this in-person in grey was an incredible phenomenon to witness. I cannot put it into words how astonishing it was to experience this. I hope everyone gets the opportunity at least once.
