CME Northern Lights The view from the jetty

 

 

There have been four major coronal mass ejections (CME) that gave rise to a powerful geomagnetic solar storm. It was the strongest to hit Sweden since the Halloween storm of 2003. 

 Then parts of the electricity system were knocked out. It is expected that there may be more opportunities during the weekend for northern lights. Keep your eyes on the sky. It's magical. 

It's what the camera captures, ot what you see with the naked eye. Something that is well known among people who want to photograph the Northern Lights. Sometimes you see a lot of color, sometimes just white streaks. Yesterday it was both. For those of you who are skeptical, 

 I post the originals as they were taken. So many colors on a #norrsken in #heestrand. Today it was nature that pulled the color sliders.

The one above is the original and the one on top is the edited one. I've just adjusted the contrast and black and white.
 

What's going on with the creature feature?

Hello to you all!

As you probably know by now Helen and I have been working on THE BEAST BENEATH LAKE BULLAREN, a creature feature. We began in 2020.

But something is about to happen. We are collaborating with Stuntman.nu as one of the new producers helping us finishing the project. Today we had an interesting call where we discussed importance of the essence of horror in the picture. We all agreed real horror is within the viewers mind and therefore you need to get them scared by imaging what's beneath instead of displaying a complete monster. By using a lot of sound effects and a fast pace of editing you will get a much bigger impact. It's horrifying to get the feeling something is watching you, instead of seeing the creature watching you.
