Exploring pro mode on the Samsung S8 camera, I realized that I had the ability, tho limited, to adjust shutter speed and ISO.
First thing I did was get my wife and had her draw a few figures with her camera led/flashlight and tried to capture those awesome long exposure shots that have avoided me due to smartphone camera limitations.
Needless to say, the camera still has limitations and I still have some practicing to do, but this opens up opportunities. Exposure times can be set up to 10 seconds (tripod recommended!) . I'm not sure if this is enough to capture any night sky shots, but I'm going to have to give it a shot one day.
Improvements can also be made by changing the light source. Since we were using a smartphone camera light, it was hard to turn off and added unwanted light. Since we were indoors, light also reflected more that we wanted off the walls causing the picture to appear brighter.
We tried to draw hearts because of Valentines. Timing was a bit off.
Subject moved off to the side. Whoops.
Let's just keep it simple and draw a circle.
Settings on the Samsung S8 Camera. Swipe right on the main screen then select pro to get to this screen.
