'Today at Apple' Session Explores How to Shoot and Edit 'Otherworldly' Photos in Night Mode on iPhone

Am I the only one not seeing much here? I mean, that photographer clearly has a good eye, but that's her eye... that's not the phone or the effects or anything along those lines. She's simply talented at seeing and framing a good shot.

That said, I'm about as zero-talent as it gets in this area, so maybe I'm just not appreciating certain aspects of this enough... ;)

As a photographer, I agree with you. Personally, it's not my type of photography. I much prefer capturing what's actually there rather than adding film and other effects to create abstract lighting in the scene. I think the night photography on iPhones is great though. They just don't explain that much about that in this video.

That guy's not over the top is he?! 😂

That’s good stuff. It’s crazy to see what iPhone camera is capable off.

I constantly need to lower my expectations of Macrumors' commenters

When phones can shoot the moon at night with amazing exposure and detail then the real next level really begins but I think that is also when Canon and Nikon poop themselves.

If you want to shoot the moon, you'll need a telescope (consumer telescopes offers poor image quality, IMO) or a long reach lense. I've got a 500mm lense on a APS-C sensor and the moon shot is still too small for me (only 1/6 of the frame). I'll need at least a 1500mm lense with my APS-C sensor.

Talking about taking a good moon shot with a phone is laughable right now, especially if you're after anything print worthy.
