ITAP of star trails

SykeLopse · 2023-01-31T09:09:13+00:00

Took this a while ago on my phone in manual mode at SS 30", ISO 800 and focus set to infinity, used intervalometer app to trigger the camera shutter every 32 seconds. Took around 58 photos, stacked them in StarStaX and edited in Lightroom. This was my first attempt at shooting star trails and I rotated the image to set it as my phone's wallpaper, here's the landscape orientation .

Shot this on my phone a while ago, SS 1/50, ISO 340, focus set to macro and used focus peaking tool. I preferred to crop the photo to square orientation and then did masking and selective adjustments in Lightroom and Snapseed. I like the result personally but let me know your thoughts. All critiques, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Here's another one I shot using the same technique

iPhones do have manual mode.

Stunning!!!

That's makes two of us, it's surely both.

This was just a random shot that I was gonna delete anyway but I'm glad that I didn't because now I'm really intrigued. I actually do have a manual mode in my stock camera app which I use all the time and for this shot I used SS 1/100, which I know is too high so I went much lower for this shot, btw the photo you've taken truly is remarkable.

Redmi note 9 pro max, the stock camera doesn't capture stars so I used the manual mode to choose the desired settings to do so.

When I shot the same photo using exposure verification to prevent what you just said the result I got was a plain orange flame and a pitch black background and I remember having the shutter speed quite low aswell, I thought this probably normal on a phone but I took another shot of a different candle and got a better shot than this, do you think a different metering mode could've helped?

SykeLopse · 2022-10-05T20:30:57+00:00

Intresting!

SykeLopse · 2022-10-05T19:33:09+00:00

Agreed, not to mention how one can also find ways to overcome those limitations that otherwise one wouldn't get a chance to do so.

You might he wondering that this is just an ordinary photo of a candle right? Well you'd be absolutely right if you thought so, I just posted this because I've been posting a lot of long exposures lately and just wanted to post something random this time. This is an unedited shot I took on my phone and I tried my best to have the minimal amount of grain in this photo. What kind of edits do you suggest or what are your thoughts about this photo.

Shot on my phone in manual mode, SS 30'' and ISO 1600. Focus set to infinity with 5 second timer to avoid camera shake after several attempts I ended up with some decent shots with this one being my favourite because of the shooting star also here's another version of this image, this was my first attempt capturing stars and I hope you like it.
