I just recently passed from android to Iphone 15 Pro and while it’s effectively better under all aspects, it really leaves much to be desired on the moon pictures, with results being vastly inferior to my old Honor 20 Pro from 2018. All of this seems to be due to the apparent lack of focus and exposure control. Now, I understand that Apple phones are not for “Pro” photography but… can’t the AI in the phone really see that that’s the moon and it should focus at infinity? Also, what’s with the huge light flares that I always see when imaging bright lights?
I took this using LightRoom. It allows you to choose the ISO and shutter speed. This photo was with 1/800s shutter speed, 100 ISO, and f/2.8 aperture.
My best shot EVER on my 14pro max. Literally had to stand there for 20 mins and eventually I got a decent pic! I don’t think it gets any better than this lmao most of the time when I try to photograph the moon it’s just a white blob.
Doesn’t Samsung just overlay moon.jpg when it detects you’re framing the moon irl?
No, it uses ai enchancing just as every other smartphone does.
All phones use AI to sharpen images, but Samsung uses AI to quite literally slap on a fake image of the moon when it detects a moon, so this is very, very different.
There are literally videos of people fooling the algorithm by putting a white circle on a dark background and it suddenly turned it into a moon…
That’s Samsung bs speak for the over-glorified, high tech way that it overlays moon.jpg into images that it detects contain the moon.
So is every picture that you take a jpg overlay because of ai? The amount of stupidity is astonishing. And if you think that apple doesnt do the same you are just naive and stupid
yupppp. “AI”
I think it is actually a machine learning neural net but it’s job is basically “does that look like the moon? Then put the moon stuff on it.”
I took this on the iPhone 13 Pro. Cropped and then edited in Lightroom mobile
Shot on iPhone 6s
Smartphones and even digital photography did not yet exist during the Moon Landing.
Shit really?
Lmao
Close your eyes
Tripod, and some of the setting changes mentioned by others
You can try going into video, zooming all the way in, start recording and tap and slide down the exposure and use that button in the bottom right to take individual pictures
I took this way back when from my iPhone OG 👌🏻
There are some good videos on this with just the standard camera app. And in handy during a lunar eclipse
There’s an app, that is pretty good called “Moontake”
Use a DSLR
Step 1: Buy a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
I can’t agree more. IPhone hates moon. I tried so many times on 15 pro max. Lack of focus and exposure control on camera app probably cause it. Also, you may notice it keeps on changing lenses while you try to focus on the moon.
How would the moon feel embarrassed?
