LG shoots the aurora borealis with the new G Pro 2

LG recently announced the G Pro 2, which features an improved version of the 13 megapixel camera on the G2, and is one of the main features of this phone. So LG decided to show off its low light capabilities by photographing the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights.

Although visible clearly to the naked, the aurora borealis is not the easiest thing to capture on a mobile phone camera as it requires a long exposure shot to capture properly. With the help of optical image stabilization, the G Pro 2 can clearly expose much longer than most phones, although the photographers used tripods to take these shots, which sort of defeats the purpose.

Still, we do get to see what the sensor is capable of and the images do look quite good, assuming they are straight off the camera without any editing. There is no EXIF data on Flickr so that may not exactly be the case.
