im very grateful for the lessons in photography i was taught in stop motion class because just now they made it possible to photograph the stars with my phone in spite of the camera usually not detecting the light of stars because theyre so dim,,,, enjoy these shiny motherfuckers
ok so if everythings normal, your phone camera should have a manual mode (sometimes called pro mode). in it, change the settings of the shutter lag to 20 seconds, then put the phone down on some stable, plane surface and press the photo button (usually when using your camera, the volume buttons can be used as photo button) and let the phone still for the whole 20 seconds.
(basically the problem with most cameras is that they dont have a very good light sensitivity in the dark, however that doesnt mean they cant detect it at all. the longer the shutter is open, the more light your camera takes in and the more burnt/light your pic will be, so in (literally) dark situations, make the shutter lag longer to get all that light you need! also i said 20 seconds but really you can make it shorter or longer depending on what kinda stuff you want for your stars)
Yes this!
Additionally, adjust your ISO to the highest number (mimics the film used for very low light and low speed images)
And set your shutter speed to the longest time possible (on my phone it’s 10 seconds).
Leave your focus settings on Auto, and if your phone camera has a timer option, turn that on (five seconds is generally enough).
Plan your shot first, then find a place to set your phone down so you can get the image you want. The less light pollution, the better; you’ll pick up FAR more stars in your picture.
Once you know what you want to shoot, tap your screen to “focus” it, then hit the button to take the picture, set your phone down, and back away from the “tripod”. Don’t touch your phone for a good 15 seconds, just to be sure.
You will not be disappointed in the results, let me assure you.
I forgot my iPad was connected to my Bluetooth speaker in the other room so when I played this video I hear “BLEAGHHHHHHH” come from one room over which made almost fuckin SHIT myself
i’m a black trans woman, i’m unemployed, and my family is threatening to kick me out.
i need help.
my abusive parents recently found my blog and realized i’m trans and they’re furious. they’ve been increasingly violent towards me and are even withholding food from me. i desperately need food and money to help me move out of this house. i’ve been desperately looking for work but no one will hire me. even $1 would help me tremendously and is immensely appreciated. and even a reblog helps. my paypal is paypal.me/cherrysodas and my venmo is @Nia-Taylor-7
update: i’m getting kicked out the week after christmas so i’m now at risk of becoming homeless. even $1 or a reblog helps
