Hello!
While shooting with my camera and star tracker, I thought I’d try a Milky Way shot with my phone.
That’s me pointing up!
Single 30 sec shot with a Galaxy S25.
Used my shoe as a tripod, set a 10 second timer and ran to lie down in time lol
I also put my gfs phone on the other shoe with the display unlocked facing us, as a very faint diffuse light so that we appear bright enough in the foreground.
Edited in free mobile Lightroom, just cropped a bit and then played around with contrast, brightness, saturation and denoise. Took the photo in RAW format, if you attempt it yourself this helps a lot during editing.
It’s surprising how much detail you can get out of a phone camera these days…
Feedback appreciated!
The light on the two of you was brilliant. Love the picture!
Thank you! For a 30 sec exposure you really only need a tiny amount of light, so just leaving the display on at ~2m away does the trick in a pinch!
