How to Shoot Stars with iPhone

[@krishansanjeev9976]

For a better night star’s picture ,Set your night timer to max(as said in the video) and reduce your exposure to -2.0. This will get rid of the unwanted sky brightness and only highlight the stars.

[@legendarypo183]

Thanks bhai

[@xk3113]

Hallo mate why my maximum time cant reach to 10 sec?

[@chrisziegenhagel1987]

Even better is get a tri-pod to get the most time out of exposure with max 30 seconds.

[@majesticmewtwo7386]

@@xk3113 just simply don't move your phone for a few seconds, make it stable and then keep a timer of 3 seconds. Then click on capture and keep your phone on a flat surface where your lens is towards the sky. U can use this trick if you don't have a tripod.

[@bulletgaming7814]

whats the icon for the exposure? i cant find it

[@hmuphilly9129]

Its incredible what editing can do. Though I would really much like to see them like that with my very own eyes and holy crap you caught the haydes cluster

[@MiseEnZheng]

Well done! I'm excited to get my pro max soon. I may consider a monoscope for it too for trying to photograph deeper sky objects.

[@EldarGezalov]

Thanks! Did you get your Pro Max? I haven’t used the monoscope with iPhone, I wonder what kind of results you could get from it.

[@MiseEnZheng]

@@EldarGezalov Hi Eldar, I did indeed going with the 12 Pro Max and I'm very pleased I did! The camera is absolutely lush - I'm not entirely certain how a monoscope would link with the camera due to its dimensions, but I'm definitely keen to give it a go, if only to film wildlife in slow motion. We have an out of habitat family of parakeets where I live, and the kite and peregrine population is doing really well... if it does allow me to capture even vague images of M31, M42 and perhaps some globular clusters, that would be amazing!

[@Cristi3453]

Switch it wit s21 ultra and no need a monoscope.I switched the 12 pro max,apple is a joke,it's like toy in comparasion with s21 ultra

[@kuchukboromdebbarma2117]

@@Cristi3453 and I am switching from s20 to iPhone 12. The image processing and dynamic range is just too good and beautiful. Been using android my phone life and this is my first iPhone. No regrets, fully satisfied

[@michaeldunlap2254]

Lol, I just got the 11 and in the day time I can’t tell the difference from the xr but at night it’s amazing. I found out how to do the 30sec exposure without a gimbal and it looks so nice at night. I enjoyed the video though and seeing how to use Lightroom really helped out.

[@ansh4587]

I’m only getting 2 second exposure and night mode max at 3 how to increase this 😩

[@michaeldunlap2254]

@@ansh4587 it just depends on how dark it is. But it’s a symbol in the camera app you can mess with. If you’re really still though you can trick the camera to do the exposure to 30 seconds.

[@Blaiseth]

Hi, does that mean I can do same on my 12? Any info would be helpful.

[@michaeldunlap2254]

@@Blaiseth I believe so. I think every iPhone past the 11 can do it.

[@suicune1924]

Cool video! But can you activate the long exposure mode manually? I can only use it at night as it turns off during the day.

[@EldarGezalov]

It's always on, but it only actives when it's dark. It's doesn't matter if it's a daytime, if it's too dark for your phone, it will active it.

Very informative video. What would you recommend to photograph the Moon at night resulting in detailed photo? I get great detail for moon day shoot but night time is always blurry.

[@EldarGezalov]

Thanks! If you want to use your Phone, you will probably need some better telephoto lens. Night Mode does a great job, but the zoom is not close enough for the moon shooting

[@yuhukko]

hey. so i have this problem where when i take a picture of literally anything, i can edit the picture but when i save it, the edit disappears. any help?

[@Blaiseth]

[@fredericgagnon-ch5807]

You could start by saying , first you’ll open your settings , then press on Camera then press this and that

[@UltimatePokeGamer7]

Can the same be done with the regular iPhone 12?

[@EldarGezalov]

Yes, it can. ProRAW on Pro phones will make the end result a bit better, but even the regular iPhone with Night Mode will produce great results!

[@alexb103]

Hi thank you so much for the video it was really helpful, I was wondering if this works for the regular iPhone 13? Would I get similar results

[@EldarGezalov]

Yes it works. The ProRAW is not available on the regular 13, but it still delivers great results.

[@anthonyi.347]

yes i always do it on my iPhone 13 mini and it has really great results but no proraw though. i heard the cameras on the iPhone 13 are taken from the iPhone 12 Pro so they could have put proraw on there but decided not to

[@mitze888]

So I guess that ProRaw feature isn't on the iPhone 14.

[@sageanimations2463]

Its only in iphone pro models which is kind of bullshit

[@simona1136]

You set exposure length to max and it shows 10secs. I have 12 pro and the max I can get is 1 second. Any ideas?

[@EldarGezalov]

If it’s too bright, it won’t go to far. Make sure it’s dark outside and there is no light source close by

[@simona1136]

M planning to buy iPhone 13 but it doesn't have this pro raw feature whereas iphone 13 pro does have this feature so what do you think is it a deal breaker for camera point of view?

[@EldarGezalov]

It’s definitely not a deal breaker, but if the main reason for you to buy it is to do photography, I think getting the best possible camera is a good idea. ProRAW does improve the quality of night sky pics.

[@realmoonknight]

raw is useful only when you have to time and will to edit each picture else its a feature you won't use most of the time
