It's Crazy

A few days ago and my hubby and I were sitting outside and he was asking me how to take pictures at night without flash. I just use the normal picture mode. I was surprised by all the options that were on my phone. I mean it's crazy that you can take a picture of the stars with the Starry mode and with the long exposure I shot this pic. It's not professional like a DSRL but still blew my mind how powerful a smartphone is nowadays. Do you use all the modes on your smartphone? If not you might wanna try them. I bet you'll be as surprised as I am.

No, I don't bother using a lot of things my phone can do. I don't need them. That is a good photo, though.

@BabeSays I sold all kinds of phone for the last 14 years that I worked. Home phones, dumbphones and smartphones from a lot of manufacturers. I was the salesperson for the electronics department where I worked.

I downloaded the full manual of my smartphone because I like to explore all the photographic possibilities. I do not care using it as a phone, I use it as a camera.

@BabeSays - Smartphone cameras also need a battery and if you do not charge it at least once a week it's useless. It's not because you do not insert a SIM that it works without being charged.

That's very wise since it's always ready to go and no need to worry about the battery. I think smartphone camera is getting better and better.

@LadyDuck What I meant is that they are more reliable. You can shoot for a longer period of time with a mobile without worrying about the battery dying on you in an hour or 2.

I know I’d be surprised because you know how bad I am with anything to do with my phone. I had a hard time figuring out how to send you a video! The picture you included is just gorgeous! I’ll have to take a look at my own phone, and see what options are available.

@BabeSays My sister is married to a technology genius, so I should definitely ask him about my phone. He is the one who picked it out for me.

@AmbiePam That's wonderful. You know I am crazy about technology. Whenever someone or any relatives (my hubby's side) need to buy a laptop or smartphone they'd always ask my advice. I am madly in love with all things technology can provide. I wish I could have worked in such a store. But they need a certificate even thou I have more knowledge about the products they sell than themselves. It sucks.

Yes, I remember that very well. I mean every day we can learn something. I am glad my hubby asked me that question. I found answers to many more. What's best about this, it's that there is an option to shoot RAW. Can you believe it's a smartphone shooting in RAW. I burst into tears when I found that out. Yes do play around with all the options you get.

My phone has the option of taking raw photos and also has different camera modes. It could take photos that's equivalent to the quality of a dslr. But I hardly use it. I prefer taking macro shots.

I found out mine could shoot RAW too. I could be happier. I love photography so it means a lot to me. I don't known when I might use it but I am glad to have it as an option.

I don't know if my phone has all those options. I know my camera does, but I haven't used it since I need a new memory card.

Yes sometimes our phone has a lot more features than we know. I found some advance features about my phone today i didn't know I could do. What camera do you have? I used to have a Nikon D5500. It was 24MP and did a pretty good job. Night time I can tell you that it was a beast. I love how it could capture so many details in the dark. I'm guessing you might have a canon right?

Mine takes good clear pictures so I don’t change anything. I don’t understand what I’m seeing in your picture.

@RubyHawk Indeed. It's a big achievement for a smartphone to be able to step up at this level.

That's wonderful. Do share some pics with us. A digital shots are way better since they shoot in high res.

no I just use normal photo mode. But once I did play around with filtering, but I didn't really like it.
