Fate just doesn’t want us to have good things in life, ain’t it?

This is still the best thread ever.

I havent posted any interesting stuff in this thread in awhile

So I’ll just drop these pictures I took outside my house several weeks ago. My newest phone and it’s camera is so awesome. ;)

@Khauntzat Adramélekhizarovich Searmaev
The crisp quality and resolution is most envious!

Epic shots, kleiner Bruder. I have hardly (rather never) seen such a clear night sky ;-)

@DarkObsidian
In photography or IRL?

IRL. My home, the Ruhrgebiet, is just a collection of many large cities and smaller towns. We have such light pollution here, it literally does no good to want to observe the night sky. :-/

I have inherited a lot of telescopes from my father. But the days when you MIGHT be able to see something are counted on one hand.

@DarkObsidian
Aha! I figured you were talking about the light pollution.
There isn’t too much here in suburban Ottawa, thankfully. But of course, the further downtown you go, the less stars you’d see.

THERE ARE NO STARS!!! :-D

@DarkObsidian
Awww

Live is just unfair! I want to see stars too! Now I go to bed like this! ;-D

@DarkObsidian
What kind of phone do you use?

@DarkObsidian
Hey man, surely you’ll get your chance C:

@Mellow Rhythm
I live on the precipice of Metro Manila’s extremely dense area (north side) which at most of the times, is blanketed with so much light and smoke pollution. Those shots I took was at the most bestest of times and conditions, had a clear sky and air.

And about my camera and it’s settings, my phone is Realme 8 equipped with quad front cameras including a 64 megapixel main. This is how you set the camera if y’all wish to have a perfect astrophotography shots like mine above: if your phone camera had a pro mode or something like that, you’ll see these two important adjustment with ISO and shutter speed. To do astrohphotography, you will need to have a stand where you can take photos of the starry night very clearly because handheld shots is bound to be very shitty. (Tripod is your best friend here) now, set the settings to ISO of 3200 or higher depends on how much brightness do you want with your night sky, then a 32 second shutter speed. Then take the shot with those adjustment and wait for 32 seconds and see the magic happen.

Oh wait… *ahem*

@Khauntzat Adramélekhizarovich Searmaev
Noted. Thanks for the tips!
I do really want to make this happen at some point this year. Maybe this summer or late spring, when the weather is of course warmer.

Also, haha, nice Photo Finish ref there!

Just now. ;)

@Khauntzat Adramélekhizarovich Searmaev
Dazzling!

What’s up y’all? How’re you doing?

Here’s my unedited shot last night using Gcam on my phone yet again cus’ why not? ;)

I’m doing well Bumpz. Fucking pumped up as well.

I just watched the best fight of the year so far in the UFC between my favorite fighter (guy in my pfp) and Gilbert Burns. It was totally fucking badass.
