Northern lights near Hvolsvöllur in southern Iceland on 9 September 2024.
None of us had experience photographing the northern lights, but my niece took some nice photos with her smartphone!
P.S. Many thanks to Katie for sharing these great photos!

Jackie, These photos are great! Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi, all!
Thanks so much!
I don't know the specifics, but apparently the sensors in the newest smartphones can "see" the light better than our eyes. So it's easier to view and photograph the northern lights with them. (Some folks had older smartphones and that colors didn't show up as well.)
I don't have a new smartphone, and I didn't have the right lens with me for night photography, so I'm glad my niece had a phone that allowed us to appreciate this phenomenon!
Jackie
