How to shoot the moon with a mobile phone

How to take beautiful photos of the moon with ordinary mobile phones;

Take Samsung S 10 as an example. After turning on the camera of the mobile phone and pressing the shutter on the moon, most people will get the following photos, right! Everything is just a bright spot, and there is no moon at all. This is because the automatic camera mode of the mobile phone will be "automatically optimized" because the light around the scene is too dark, and the brightness of the picture will increase. So no matter how you shoot, you can only get highlights in automatic mode. Then you need to enter the professional mode of mobile phone photography to do the following operations.

1. Adjust ISO (sensitivity)

After the phone screen is maximized, you will see the ISO option when you open the phone professional mode. When shooting the moon scene, it is necessary to reduce the sensitivity as much as possible, so as to prevent the lens of the mobile phone from receiving too much light and turning the moon into a "light spot". Take Samsung S 10 as an example, and set the ISO to 50. It can be found that after the sensitivity of the picture becomes lower, the noise in the sky becomes less and purer, and the surface details of the moon gradually emerge.

2. Adjust the aperture and shutter time.

Installing iris on S 10 series is a special case. When shooting night scenes with S 10, the aperture will default to F 1.5, so it is used as a large aperture flagship machine without adjustment. In order to avoid the boredom of aperture, it needs to be clear that the smaller the aperture number, the larger the aperture and the more light entering. Models without aperture can skip the previous step and adjust the shutter time directly. Simply put, it takes a few seconds for a mobile phone to focus light, which leads to how long it takes for a mobile phone to take a photo. Usually, it is common to adjust the shutter time when you want to take high-brightness photos at night, but it should be noted that hand-held shooting is easy to cause picture jitter and the final effect is very poor. Bracket is recommended for long exposure shooting.

By default, the shutter time is about 1/45 seconds in a sunny room and about 1/8 seconds in a dark environment. The longer the exposure time, the higher the brightness of the picture. When shooting the moon scene, the brightness and details are adjusted to11000 seconds to keep a basic balance.

Manual focus

Manually focus by moving the horizontal bar left and right, and adjust AF (focal length). Basically, the focus section can be adjusted to the farthest position to clearly aim at the moon position, and the mobile phone that can focus automatically does not need to be manually adjusted.

Final effect comparison:

After manually adjusting ISO sensitivity, aperture size and shutter time, it is basically possible to avoid making the moon into a big ball of light. Although limited by the zoom ability of the mobile phone, the final effect after adjustment is still very obvious compared with the automatic mode.
