Just arrived in Bergen for the signing session at Raptus festival! 
I saw my first aurora last night, thanks to the great convention team. I’m still thinking about it while having breakfast! 
Just got the photos of last night's #aurora. Imagine this IRL very very subtle: the long exposure capability of this camera revealed more than what we could actually see. But it was still an amazing experience.
@davidrevoy Are you in Bergen, Norway?! Cool! 
@jromanowska Yes! I'm the guest of a comic convention for the weekend, https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1041/raptus-comic-convention-in-bergen-norway , it's also my first time in Norway. 
@davidrevoy Oh, cool! I couldn't really find when the signing session will be - I think I'll be able to come! 
@davidrevoy @jromanowska Put in a good word for the Fediverse (called "Allheimen" in Norwegian)! There is a small but healthy norwegian community on the Fediverse, but more people need to be made aware of it's existence!
@ruben @davidrevoy så sant, så sant!
@davidrevoy And drawing your mental cat human watching the Aurora with you 
@davidrevoy I envy you, that's a sight I still have on my bucket list.
@madayar It was very subtle, like just a 2% increase of greenish luminosity blurry glow in the sky, and an experience far from what we can see on popular photos but we could see the big mass clearly enough.
A bit like watching the milky way on my garden, versus knowing the high detailed photos of the milky way with a lot of saturation and contrast. 
But the ones with good cameras last night were able to capture good pictures with advanced settings.
@davidrevoy Gosh, you were lucky to see an auroral curtain as far south as Bergen!
@kapellosaur Yes, but the drawing is mainly inspired by what I know of Auroras , more than what I observed: in reality, it was more like a glowy greenish mass, a bit like a cloud; a very VERY subtle. But still, an amazing experience. We also had to wait 1am and go far away the city to reduce light polution.
We could see more details about it on the photos : the team had a good camera setup around with long exposure. The drawing is more inspired by what we saw on the photo in a way.
@davidrevoy Have fun! :)
@davidrevoy It is probably even more wonderful in live. It's the kind of sighting that photograph can't fully grasp, I guess
@touhoppai Hey! It's a bit the reverse actually: in real it's super subtle, like a very low greeny glow and the photo with long exposure reveal more than what you could see (almost curtain effect on the photo).
At least, that was what I could see from the place I was at 1am and the team with me told me it's crystal clear visible on the top of mountain in the best weather conditions with movement and all.
But even with that, it was super impressive.
@davidrevoy Oh, I didn't expect that, thx
@davidrevoy @touhoppai We had the Aurora here in Minnesota not long ago. I’ve never seen it so I thought I’d at least go out on the deck and see since it was real late.
Nada. Picked up my iPhone, and I could see it through the phone. It wasn’t very magical. Cool tech for sure, but I felt cheated. :/
@davidrevoy @touhoppai The far more spectacular in the photos is very much my experience as well. It just feels a little, "odd" but then take a photo (especially with a good DSLR) it just is amazing.
@davidrevoy would have been nicer without all the light pollution
@davidrevoy From my home in Finland, it was pink.
@davidrevoy That is a very beautiful view. It is like like looking at a living canvas. That is what I think of every time I look at the skies.
@davidrevoy Impressive. I think that's what makes a great artist.
Doing something amazing despite the tools at hand.
It reminds me that it's not important to have the most expensive equipment, but what you can do with the things you have around.
@davidrevoy Wow, an aurora in Bergen, you're lucky, that's quite south
@davidrevoy I find it odd that you'd only just be seeing aurora now. Or maybe more accurately first knowingly seeing aurora. I know the first time I saw them, we were coming into the country at midnight (the border closed at midnight, and we had enough time to make it, but good thing we didn't end up delayed). Walking home from school (and probably before then) I saw them. It wasn't spectacular, but was, "man the sky is weird tonight..." I've never seen anything that spectacular.
@davidrevoy welcome to Norway! Great to have such an artist visiting us.
