It's beautiful. Art isn't just about documenting events. It's about expressing information, including the feeling of the moment, even if it's not objectively and empirically accurate. I love it.
Thanks! I said in the posts something about the editing expressed the feeling of the aurora, which I had never witnessed before, and which was quite strong for how far south it was.
I like Vermeer, but if all paintings were held to that particular style, we would have missed out on the overwhelming majority of great works. I believe the same rule applies to all art media. The ability to convey the feeling of the moment is foundational to art.
