This past weekend the view of the moon was amazing. I wanted to share this photo I took this with my iPhone at 5:35A The framing was not perfect, but it was very dark at this early hour.
I am very impressed with the night photo mode on my new iPhone. I previously blogged about this feature here. It is so amazing.
Look at the photo above. You can even see the clouds in the night sky. This is computational photography at its best. Very impressive.
So, what does that mean? In this case, the iPhone collects image data from three lens. That data is sampled many times for a longer period of time. This photo was sampled over a 10 second window. This is not a long exposure image .. it is several photos that are merged over time to create a final image. Kind of amazing. It’s still a night shot, but you get something very different.
The second photo was taken mintues later with my big boy camera (my DLSR camera with my sigma 600mm lens). A very differnet type of photo.
