Taking Good Pictures:

[Jammy97]

Hi all,

How do you take a great picture of the sky? What magic do you do? 

Do you use Pro shot for example? 

What do you do?

Thanks.

To take photos of the sky with a Samsung Galaxy phone, you can use the Expert RAW app to access Astrophoto mode: 

Download the free Expert RAW app from the Galaxy Store

Open the app and go to Settings

Turn on Special photo options to access Astrophoto mode

Turn on RAW photo capture for detailed images

Select the Astrophoto button, which looks like a constellation icon

Choose your exposure duration

Select your lens

Press the shutter button

Here are some tips for taking photos of the sky with a Samsung Galaxy phone:

Use a tripod: A tripod will help keep your phone steady and from moving when you take the photo 

Find a dark location: Try to find a place with little to no light pollution from cities or towns 

Use a light pollution map: You can use a site like Dark Site Finder to find a dark location 

Choose the right time of year: Ideally, you'll want to shoot during a new moon 

Use the right settings: Some recommended settings include: 

Shutter speed: 30 seconds 

ISO: 3200 

Manual focus: 0.8 

White balance: 3700-4300K 

Use the Camera Assistant app: This app lets you customize your shooting experience by turning on or off features like Auto HDR and Auto lens switching

If you perform a forum search you may find existing threads with some further help or guidence within.

Personally I'm a point and click type of photograph taken and manage to get good photo's. 

Something simple such as a gimbel or tri pod can help too.
