Low Light Photography | Xiaomi 14 Ultra | Tips for BETTER Photos on your PHONE

[@riowinaryo18_86]

I didn't know this video was shot by Xiaomi 14 ultra. I mean, the quality is super good 👌 Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@UpsideLens]

Thank you 😊 yes all my videos since I got the Xiaomi have been filmed with the phone itself 👌

[@danielzolfaghari]

I just wanted to say your content is really high quality in terms of your approach to actually review the camera quality of smartphones. Seeing how you put it to the test via the eye of a photographer, edit the photos to your style and share your thoughts is what's missing from the KZbin community. I recently bought this phone for my mother since she's a photography enthusiast and your videos were a big part of my decision making. I hope your channel grows and more people can benefit from your expertise ☺.

[@UpsideLens]

Awww thanks so much for the kind words ❤️ I really hope your mom enjoys this phone it really is an awesome camera disguised as a phone 😉

[@danielzolfaghari]

@UpsideLens thank you 😊. It truly is a camera first and a phone second 😁. I wanted her to have a proper tool to be able to capture her creativity and from the short time I had with the phone, the ceiling of possibilities with is seriously impressive. But once again, thanks for sharing a detailed and informative video with us.

[@UpsideLens]

@danielzolfaghari you're very welcome, that's really the reason I started this channel, to inform, inspire and help as much as possible 😊

Hey Seb.... I just got a brand new 14 Ultra at a great price (£835) so have been watching your video and have also subbed...... bought your presets to try and help you out a wee bit as well. Cheers.

[@UpsideLens]

Wow cracking price mate ! Thanks for the sub and getting the presets, you really gonna have fun with this phone mate 👌

[@dekhog]

Which strength of black mist filter are you using?

[@UpsideLens]

Sorry only just saw your message, it is 1/4 filter, I believe I have it listed in my videos description 👍

[@bleakoned]

Vivo x200 pro is going to get global release, hoping you also pick it up!

[@IceCool97]

hi man, great video and photos, i am looking to buy your presets for LR, but my question is, can i install those presets on iphone? since im iphone 15 user

[@UpsideLens]

Hey thanks mate 😀 yes the presets are compatible for all devices, I have included instructions in the pack on how to install them. Due to the nature of lightroom and how they keep changing things around if you struggle to use them on iPhone just watch a tutorial on how to import the presets or go to lightrooms website for the latest instructions 👍

[@jimboscustoms]

Ive got the sony expria 1v what filter size and how do you attach it the phone? Thanks

[@UpsideLens]

The Xiaomi 14 ultra takes 67mm if you're using the Xperia 1 V I used to have a filter adapter for the phone, go watch my older videos about accessories for the Xperia 1V the adapter is listed there 👍

[@jimboscustoms]

@@UpsideLens brilliant thank you for your reply i appreciate it 👍

[@UpsideLens]

You're welcome 👌

[@JoniUkr]

We're the photos you took edited after shooting? They looked great

[@UpsideLens]

Hi thank you for the kind words, and yes all my photos are shot RAW in manual mode and of course edited in lightroom classic afterwards. No camera in the world would be able to spit out photos this way. I have made a video a while ago about how I edit my photos, my lightroom presets are also available, theres a link in the description.

[@JoniUkr]

@UpsideLens Just watched the video again and you do say it's possible to download the RAW files... 🙄 Still great photos and camera! 👏 👏 Your video comparing the Sony 1V with the X14U really helped me to decided upon Xiaomi - thanks Intrigued about the trail tickets... 🤔

[@UpsideLens]

Oh my man stay tuned to know where I'm headed to at the end of the month 😉 it's gonna be a hell of a video that I'm excited to be making !!!! In regards to the raw files yes I have them downloadable via Patreon (also gives access to early videos, my presets, discord server...). Hope you enjoy the 14 ultra though, it's a hell of a beast ❤️

[@XenonVonDoom]

hey mate, one question, is it possible to arrange or organize the camera modes(night mode, photo mode, pro mode, video mode, portrait, etc) in the camera app to your taste? I mean put a mode next the other as you want?

[@UpsideLens]

Hey yes you can go in customise and change what appears at the bottom layout 👍

[@XenonVonDoom]

@UpsideLens awesome, thanks! If you can record a video showcasing the features and possibilities with the camera app it would be really interesting to see!! 🙏🏼

[@Anjula321]

could you make a portrait tutorial too for the 14 Ultra if you could?

[@UpsideLens]

Yes that is something I do want to do in the future, not the fake portrait/bokeh mode but real portrait shots yes 👍

[@ashouhdy]

​@@UpsideLensPortrait mode has a bug , try taking group portrait or even 2 persons , the one closer to the camera will be InFocus the other is blurred even if he is an inch behind him

[@UpsideLens]

@ashouhdy sorry I don't use portrait mode, I can't stand fake bokeh mode, I only rely on physical depth of field. If anything sometimes I ever so slightly use lightroom to increase the depth of field just a tad but once again I do not use portrait/bokeh modes on phones

[@ashouhdy]

@@UpsideLens i understand and the 75mm takes great shots ,, but the Master mode (HDr off) color science sometimes takes beautiful images in difficult light scenarios

[@DVinstapics]

November is too early for christmas decorations, they have enough time in December for all of it

[@UpsideLens]

I agree too 😅 the other half doesn't haha 😆

[@joelconolly5574]

After December it'll be Chinese New year. Welcome to marketing.

[@abhaynathu8875]

Are all these taken with your filter on?

[@UpsideLens]

Yes I explained it at start, I used it for the whole video 👍

[@Friendlywhoman]

Hi Mate hope you are doing all fine ❤ I have a question with you ( is it possible for you to record a video about realme 13 pro plus it's midranger with 120x telephoto camera and it has some cool Sony sensors as some other youtubers say it's a great phone for it's price but as I mentioned I want your review about this phone if it's doable for you mate ❤) cheers ❤

[@UpsideLens]

Hey yes I'm good thank 😀 yes of course ! If someone wants to loan their device I'll happily put it to the test. See I'm not a big channel, big brands don't send me their phones to test or review unfortunately and I definitely can't afford buying all the phones on the market just to review them. Hope that makes sense 👍

[@Friendlywhoman]

@UpsideLens welp I already knew that anyways tell me what might be the price of it at your local shops

[@UpsideLens]

They go for about £400 on eBay brand new (the equivalent of roughly $500USD)

[@Friendlywhoman]

@@UpsideLens I see here in my country it's kinda cheaper

[@Friendlywhoman]

@@UpsideLens about 450-470 usd for brand new

[@GlowingEagle]

Planning to cover the Xiaomi 15 Ultra when it comes out?

[@UpsideLens]

Maybe, maybe not 😅 all depends if they butcher the telephoto with an ultra high megapixel count like every other brand lol

[@abhaynathu8875]

@@UpsideLens why do you say butcher. Any prblms will be faced?

[@UpsideLens]

Vivo, oppo, Honor are all going for sensor with very high megapixels (Samsung ISO cell sensors) to do sensor crops to give you various focal lengths. The problem with that is that the bokeh, as explained in my previous message, is horrible due to physics (rectangular periscope) and regardless of the zoom range chosen the depth of field remains the same because once again sensor crops are just that, sensors crops, not actual real focal length affected by glass and distance to the sensor. So yeah I said butchered because that's why vivo x200 pro does and the rest of them are also going down that route too. I cross all my fingers Xiaomi doesn't but I doubt it 😔

[@skyunn]

@@UpsideLens now somebody understands why Xiaomi 14 Ultra has better camera's regardless if the new series release a High Pixel Count sensor! This is what I've been saying to others as well. The 5x is enough as it is for me, I don't need the extravagant zoom from the high megapixel sensors.

[@skyunn]

@@UpsideLens Subscribed! We share the same sentiments with the new phones 😆

[@ashouhdy]

photographers really takes different photos and angles than us 😅😅 beautiful camera , sorry aka Phone 😂

[@UpsideLens]

Anyone can do this, that's the reason I make these videos, I don't use $$$$ cameras, I just rely on phones only. Practice makes it better, I have always preached that ! It is all about composition, and edit in post, there's no secret formula 😉

[@ashouhdy]

@UpsideLens so humble 😊 ,, the video u made in the park (woods/jungle) whatever u call in your place has some brilliant shots.
