There’s a billion far better than photos of the moon lol.

[–] Shot_Strategy_5295@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How do you do that? I’m on iPhone 13 pro max; I can’t get it to focus properly - what should I do?

Got it on 15 pro aswell. I didnt know about the exposure setting when I had 13 pro, I’m curious how would it take this photo

[–] thatnorwegianguy69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How do you do this? 14 pro max and my photo comes out blurry. Help!

[–] Id_in_hiding@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Once it’s focused you need to bring the exposure down.

[–] thatnorwegianguy69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)
[–] SgtBaxter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Use an app like Yamera that allows you to manually adjust focus and exposure.

iPhone cameras are default set to the worst setting go to settings > Camera & it’ll show different resolutions

[–] thatnorwegianguy69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Which do you reccomend for videos and for normal pictures?

[–] thatnorwegianguy69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Also i captured quite a nice picture, however when i go to edit the picture the exposure and brightness levels reset themselves? How come i cant edit the picture with the already set levels i took the picture with initially?

For an iPhone it’s pretty good and the mobile cameras have come a long way. Take away the AI photoshopping that Android phones do, and any old DSLR with an actual telephoto lens will still blow away ANY phone on the market.

I remember my Samsung Galaxy could not see the moon properly with regular the lens. Then I started zooming and it was just the same bright dot getting “closer” but it was until I reach the end of the “zoom” that the image of the moon became “pretty”… my question is… is the image real or just AI rendering the moon when it detects that you are trying to shoot at it and then fool us into thinking it was the “lens” that do it… I never saw the atmospheric distortion it should be seem when zooming this much with the phone camera…

The post processing improved it significantly but it’s definitely not what Samsung does

[–] dandinog@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] MAW0805@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

AI turned off? Looks like an ai picture

[–] iamgioh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some post processing was definitely done under the hood, but it looks close enough to what I was seeing while taking it

[–] MAW0805@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still looks great!!

[–] IWantAGoodBattery@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What AI? In iPhone we don’t have the option to disable picture enhancing and etc. Just raw or processed jpeg.

Meanwhile i zoom in on a tree with a 13 and it’s a lower quality than shit from the 90s

[–] LightningShiva1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hey the moon just switched its light off

[–] Horace3210@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's probably just noise

and this is with only 10 seconds of expo, imagine 30 secs

[–] retrograve29@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually, this is definitely a 30 second exposure, because the 30s still shows as 10s when you view photo info.

Genuinely curious as to why people don't get all up in arms about iPhone moon pictures but they do for Android phone moon pictures.

[–] Id_in_hiding@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Android/Samsung moon photos are faked.

[–] Triajus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No they are not. I have an iPhone and a Samsung. Both are quite good. Both are using post-processing. That makes the pictures fake? No it doesn't

[–] Id_in_hiding@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Triajus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's just the AI post processing, something that iPhones also have. Look at the first comment replying to that whole ass bible.

Anyway i am not here to argue with anyone. I just enjoy having both phones lol. An S23 Ultra and an iPhone 15 Pro Max.

[–] AlternativeFine7293@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So photo processing in terms of enhancing elements in the photo is not bad in my opinion. Samsung, on the other hand, adds details to the photo that were not taken. For me personally, this is where the line is crossed between enhancing a photo in the background, optimizing colors and simply faking a photo.

I also used a Samsung for a long time and find the technology behind the photos really interesting. I just find the advertising and not really pointing it out a bit of a shame.

[–] Triajus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fair enough. I don't mind much to be honest. Besides if it is like that it would only be useful in just certain scenarios.

The enhancement works excellent to read long distance signs, something that i can't do on the iPhone at the same distance. I need to be closer with the iPhone.

That's the advantage of having both i guess. For example i still notice certain differences between Android pictures and iOS pictures when posting on Instagram.

Max zoom, Minimum exposure. You gotta insist to make it focus, then lower the brightness (sun symbol) even more. No night mode needed

Yes, phone technology can take decent pictures of the moon. This isn't something new... I'm surprised people don't ever try moon pics with different settings.
