Northern Lights in Germany and why a prompt will never beat the experience

I never thought I would see the Northern Lights over my hometown of Erfurt in Germany. And I was proved right, I was already in bed when the biggest solar storm of the last 20 years hit Europe! 🤦‍♂️
Thanks Adobe for the new generative fill tools I used to make this possible. This is roughly what it must have looked like. But a prompt can never beat the experience. The Northern Lights you see are AI-generated, based on a reference image. I used Adobe Photoshop and fed it an incredible shot of this night taken by my talented fellow photographer @florianbrillfotografie from Jena. Props to him for capturing such beauty.
AI is a fantastic tool when used right, but it can never replace the real-life experiences and efforts of photographers who chase these elusive, magical moments. They drive hundreds of kilometers, stay up all night, and put in an incredible amount of effort just to capture the perfect shot. And trust me, I know what I’m talking about! ☺️
Thanks also to @seblinda for providing real video content from this magical night - you all captured something very special and added another unforgettable moment to your own lives! 🙌
How did you spend the night? outside, in front of the TV, in bed? Let me know in the comments.

Sehr schöner Beitrag. Du hast die richtigen Worte gefunden, um den Zusammenhalt zu erklären. Das wird eine KI niemals können. Das macht uns aus.

Das freut mich, war mir extrem wichtig bei diesem sensiblen Thema.

Das ist ein ganz wunderbares Statement, Dennis. Ob sich mein Traum vom selbst erlebten Polarlicht jemals erfüllen wird, weiß ich nicht. Doch ich will es in echt und nicht gefaked erleben.

Danke dir. Ich freue mich sehr, dass es rüberkam. Drücke dir alle Daumen. Hast du das Spektakel in Deutschland auch verschlafen? 😬

@@DennisSchmelz Verschlafen ja, aber ich hab es dann noch ein paar mal versucht, nachdem alle Welt mit Fotos um sich geworfen hatte. Glück gehört eben auch dazu und dann natürlich eine gute Geschichte, wie du so schön sagst 👍

@@mejksonnenschein Genau so ist es. Ich kann dich beruhigen, es ist noch nicht vorbei. In nächster Zeit sind wohl noch einige heftige Sonennstürme, wer weiß, vielleicht haben wir ja schon bald wieder die Gelegenheit! 😁
