Stepped out to tey and grab the sunset with nightmode. Lightning from a nearby storm helped provide some illumination. Added some sharpness and shadow tweaks.

"Starry starry night, paint your pallets blue & gray." Stopped to take pictures of the stars on my way home tonight. First two with farm house on horizon, second two with a lone tree on the hillside and the last two with the big dipper.20220721_233859.jpg20220721_233918.jpg20220721_233957.jpg20220721_234017.jpg20220721_234040.jpg20220721_234104.jpg

You got the milky way in there too!! Particularly visible in the second photo. Excellent captures! Scorpius is also quite visible in the first two frames as as well!

I wasn't sure if that was clouds or the milky way. I'm going to have to look at a star chart to see what constellations I can find.

Yup definitely the Milky Way. You got Scorpius in the shot as well along with some of Sagittarius. When I go looking for specific constellations or where to find the best viewing spot of the Milky Way, I use an app called Stellarium. It is fantastic. It's helped me get the Milky Way, Scorpius, Hercules, Perseus, Cygnus, Bootes, Chepheus, Cassiopeia, and minor constellations like Serpens, Delphinus, and Lyra. And it's helped me find the little Dipper as well. Which can be tricky to find sometimes even though it's pretty close to the Big Dipper.
 
Just had one of my cousins who is a lifelong iPhone user ask how in rhe world have I been getting the kind of images wirh my phone. I told him that Samsung devices are really getting it in the photography game these days and they have a lot of different settings that can help turn what is I itially a blobby image into a sharp, detailed jewel.

Samsung has gotten so good in both the hardware and software aspects of photography that it's making it easier for us end-users to capture these kinds of photos than one would think otherwise possible.

Don't get me wrong, iPhone takes great shots too, and so do other Android devices like the pixels and Xiaomi lineups. But based on experience having tried a P6, my own S22, and images others have posted from other Android phones, Samsung is just really on point right now. ESPECIALLY in night mode photos and low exposure settings.

Like I said don't get me wrong, others take fantastic photos as well, but in my experience, Samsung is currently the cream that rises to the top for photography. Others may disagree, and that is absolutely fine if they do, as this is just based on my own experiences and opinion.

The moment a Samsung device can take a picture of my constantly moving 2-year-old without it being a blurry mess, we can have this conversation. They still have a lot of work to do regarding their image processing. Speaking as a S21 Ultra and Pixel 6 owner. Samsung makes a great camera phone, no doubt, but it's not the cream of the crop. IMO.

I think it's more a matter of what type of photography one does with a phone. For instance, back when I used film, I needed a power winder and fast film to shoot sports action. The same thing would be necessary with action shots on a phone (manual controls, short exposure and fast ISO). The alternative would be a good point and shoot.

I don't have kids, so the majority of my photos are portrait shots of still subjects and urban landscape shots of buildings. So, for me, I prefer Samsung Expert RAW. However, for you the Pixel camera in auto would be a better option.

Thanks Shellcracker! I'm going to have to take a closer look at those pics from my PC. And I'm definitely going to check out the Stellium app.
