How to shoot a star with a mobile phone

Take pictures of the stars in the night sky with your mobile phone. Mobile phone must have manual/professional mode. In this mode, adjust the exposure time, ISO, focusing and other parameters. Equipped with professional tripod and mobile phone clip, because shooting the starry sky requires long exposure and fixed shooting.

1, open the professional mode in the mobile phone camera, and adjust the parameters such as sensitivity ISO, exposure time S, focusing MF, high pixel, etc. Shutter time s (speed): 30 seconds. Focus: MF (manual focus), and then push the wide angle on the right to the top. High pixel: 50MP.

2. Turn on the voice-activated camera function when shooting to avoid shaking caused by touching the screen of the mobile phone. If you want to take a panoramic view, you can turn on the panoramic view mode. Fix the mobile phone on the tripod, and start from one end of the Milky Way, and turn the mobile phone from left to right or from right to left in turn to shoot. When shooting, make sure that the overlap between two adjacent photos exceeds 30%, so that the picture can cover the whole area of the Milky Way.

3. The viewing angle of shooting coverage can be wider, and there are margins up, down, left and right for later cropping.

Mobile phone photography skills

1, keep it stable: the design trend of mobile phones is obviously thin and light, and you won't get a huge handle like a SLR camera. At the same time, not all mobile phones have built-in optical anti-shake function, so when taking pictures, the factor that needs attention is to keep stable. When shooting, try to hold the camera with both hands and stay for a few seconds, and you can often get a clearer and more stable image.

2. Choose the appropriate shooting mode: the mobile phone used has a rich shooting mode built in, or a camera application with scene mode is installed. Choose the most suitable one according to the scene when shooting.

3. Post-image processing: If you want to improve the effect of photos, post-processing is inevitable, and mobile phones are no exception. Conveniently, there are a large number of image editing applications on the smartphone platform, which have different emphases and styles. They can cut, sharpen, adjust the contrast, or add some kind of filter to color photos.
