How to take a good night view with a mobile phone

Keep the camera as stable as possible.

The function of a mobile phone camera is the same as that of a professional camera. If you can't hold the camera steady, you can't take a clear picture. Therefore, the mobile phone needs to be relatively stable when shooting night scenes, which is also the premise of taking clear photos.

In another case, taking photos with a mobile phone at night, although the stability of the mobile phone is sometimes maintained, the photos taken will still be blurred.

So why do mobile phone photos become blurred in low light?

If you have played with a professional camera, you will know that the reason is actually very simple. When the light in the scene is too weak, both mobile phones and professional cameras will use a slow shutter speed to keep the photos relatively bright, so the longer the shutter is opened, the more light will be captured in your photos. But it will also have a negative impact, because in order to keep the shutter open for a long time at night, it will lead to a slow shutter closing time, and then if the mobile phone does not remain relatively stable,

Therefore, in order to avoid taking blurred photos, Bian Xiao suggested that you can bring your own mobile phone tripod and fix your mobile phone on the tripod to keep it relatively stable when shooting. Of course, if you don't have a tripod, you can also find some places where you can stabilize your mobile phone as a bracket, such as stones and walls. Of course, you can also use your body as a support, but only if you need to find a fulcrum to maintain your stability.

Strictly control the exposure function in the mobile phone camera

If you are careful, you will find that the brightness of photos taken by mobile phone cameras often looks much brighter than what you see in reality. In order to restore the light effect and light and dark details seen by the naked eye, it is necessary to strictly control the exposure effect of the mobile phone camera.

Of course, when shooting at night, we should make sure that the camera captures as many details as possible. It will automatically adjust the brightness of its photos to optimize the display effect of the photos. Therefore, in order to restore the real light effect in the environment, we need to manually adjust the exposure value of the mobile phone camera, that is, the ISO parameters in the professional camera mode of the mobile phone.

Then, while controlling the brightness, I can also adjust the cold and warm colors in the photo through the white balance function in the professional mode of the mobile phone. For example, if I want to take a cool color, I will lower the custom color temperature value, such as 3500K K. If I want to take a warm color photo, I will raise the custom color temperature value, such as 6500 K.

If you want to shoot more details, please shoot in a well-lit place.

What I want to remind you here is not to excessively lower exposure value, so it does not mean that the smaller exposure value is, the better. If you shoot in a dark environment, you can't get good results, so if you want to shoot more and better details, we need to use the light source in the night scene or artificial fill light to shoot.
