Hey guys, my main IG account got compromised and disabled, so if you wanna show some love and check out my new main account @hallofbirds, that would be awesome. Thanks for all the support here on YT and over on Instagram, it really means a lot.
NASA : Our astronauts reached the moon. You can only see it on TV
S21U users(100x) : really
0:48 that wallpaper tho
😃😁
Please share us that wallpaper 🤣
It'll be interesting to see what you can do with stacking the S21 photos.
Another vote for stacked S21 ultra photos.
Another vote here.
omg, so can you photograph the Orion nebula with the s21 ultra? would be awesome to see that :3
I've been doing astrophotography with my phones for a while, your channel is amazing, I wish I had found it before. The images that you get from a phone look very decent on Instagram in my experience.
Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words!
Great video mate. Milky way season just starting here, it can catch it in a small window just prior to sunrise. Its amazing what this S21 ultra can capture. One of my subs mentioned you in one of my vids. Subbed now mate, great content!
Hey thanks man, I appreciate the kind words! I'm definitely looking forward to Milky Way season, tis my favorite time of the year, lol. I'm also pretty impressed with the S21 so far, for sure. I think it's giving people who otherwise wouldn't have the ability, the opportunity to get into astro and other long exposure photography, and that's always awesome.
And great video! always glad to see one of your videos. Expecially the ones on smartphone photography
Many thanks!
Great work as always!
Thank for the fabulous content
You bet man, thanks for watching!
Great Video again Brent. I appreciate the content, man. Oh and that shirt is the best as well. I do side quests all the time. I do not want to finish the game before I finish them, lol!
As long as at least one person appreciates the shirt, I'm good! lol
Nice video. You can zoom in to stars and check infinity focus
Enjoyed your video so much
Thanks man, I'm glad you like it!
I loved the subtle reference to Andromeda colloding with us. 😁
Great video again 👍 always enjoy watching your video I have learn allot about pro mode .... I will enjoy taking pictures with my new S21 Ultra..
Thanks man, I'm glad you like the videos!
Another fantastic video
Thanks man!
Thanks again for a great video! Learning a lot! I was curious as to what pc monitor/display you use to edit your photos?
Sure thing man, glad you liked it! I use an LG Ultra wide IPS Panel.
Awesome video. Can't wait to try it with my s21 ultra
Thank you!
Have you figured out how to use the 108MP in pro mode?
Still amazing whats possible with Phone cams these days.
To me im still ok with the S10+.
Great work you do here. Saddly most folks dosnt (know to ) use the pro mode.
Would like to see s21U with telescope 🔭 Just got my s21U and just wanna take some decent (prob crap to u lol) pics. Gonna pick up a cheap tripod w/ smart phone adapter on Amazon as well. Thanks😃
I am struggling with the s21 ultra and my telescope. I had been using my s9 and it was perfect. This one isn't working for me yet
great video Bro. I could capture the Orion nebula several times with the iphone 12 pro max. it's great to reach theses pictures only with a smartphone.
Love this
Many thanks!
That is pretty awesome 👌👌
Many thanks!
Hey Brent, let me ask you something bud. I was experimenting with this phone last night. I adjusted settings and took multiple pictures. I'm stating to believe this phone has some kind of built or software or CGI. I took multiple pictures of the sky and they came out amazing after some tweaking. I came inside and wanted to see how well this performed in the dark inside. I took pictures inside my house. This is where things got a little strange. After 3 or 4 pictures I took inside after zooming in to look at the details I could see what looked like artificial stars in every photo. Give it a shot if you haven't already. I'm hoping some one can shed some light on this because as of right now it's kind of a disappointing feeling.
Does using additional phone lenses help to collect more light from the night sky?
I need some advice,i have a Standard S21 im looking for a adapter mount any idea which adapter is the best obe to buy
Orion nebula with phone please!!!!!
Good video. Would be interesting to see a nighttime timelapse with the phone if it's possible. Especially come milkyway season.
It is very possible...and will definitely happen. I made a video about it with the S20 Ultra if you want to check that one out in the mean time. :)
my zenfone 3 also has this problem with manual focus adjustment, I have to go back a little bit before the mountain to focus on infinity
Hi Brent, I own a Samsung Galaxy S20+. I want to achieve some nice Astro shots. I know there aren't any Universal settings so to speak but can you give me an idea of what the best settings are for Astro on S20+ Pro Mode ? Thanks bro BTW love your videos bro !
Has anyone found the infinity focus yet? Ive been trying to find it, but my pics never come out really clear. I did manage to get a picture of one of the Lyriads tonight though, just wish it was a bit crisper
Yes, I would like to see how good you can capture Orion's Nebula with a cell phone
Thank you for the broadcast! Great info. Do you have a S 21 Ultra with snapdragon?
Yes, I have the Snapdragon version.
@@BrentHall Thank you im.sti trying to get my hands on a snapdragon only the other processor available here I want an unlocked since on im doing pre paid Verizon because I like the plan.
Nice wallpaper dude
Great Video!!! Would you be able to do a comparison between; Note 20 Ultra vs S21 Ultra? I would love to see this comparison, especially for low light/ astrophotography results. Thanks
Thanks! I don't have a note 20 though.
im still rocking the S10+ took good photos of the milky way last summer.
Nah!
Please do the video on using the s21 ultra on a telescope. I'm trying to decide if it's worth buying a phone mount for my telescope.
Had the phone for awhile now (S21U)and just now seeing this, researching for a mount and scope. Any options?
They make phone mounts for most major telescope brands. There's one that's like $30 on b and h I think, and it says universal phone adapter for most telescopes. I'm going to try to get it and use it with my Celestron Nexstar 5 SE at some point. I'll definitely make a video about it if/when I do.
nice shot
Using you're settings, getting a blue sky? Prob light pollution? New to this with phone, what setting do I use to lower the sky back to black? Can still see stars etc but looks like almost taken in day time :-) Thanks.
Lower saturation of the sky and adjust brightness
Samsung should upgrade the Ultrawide angle camera sensor! Now that they have allowed shooting raw with the UW, a large sensor, wide aperture UW lens is expected!
Definitely! I was so stoked when I first opened up the pro mode and saw it in there, but then a little bummed when I got the images on the computer and saw the difference.
Very interesting video, thank you. Just curious if the S21 has manual focus in the ultrawide lens? I assumed it has fixed focus like previous versions. Thank you
Thanks! Yes it does.
@@BrentHall thank you 👌
Impressive result..just wonder how good if samsung use its 50mp isocell since the oixel size is bigger than 108mp
hmm probably very similar. the 50mp has a pixelsize of 1.2µm, while the 108mp has 0.8µm however its pixelbinning 9 pixels, so effectively you get 2.4µm pixels for a 12mp photo. same for 50mp if they pixelbin 4 pixels, becoming same 2.4µm pixelsize but at a 12,5mp photo
Did you put continuously light on cactus or its just phone flash
I used a lume cube.
im first finally
BTW nice video
Make a video on taking a picture of orion with your telescope please
is there a chance Samsung will introduce pro mode for ultra wide camera also on the galaxy s10?
Idk, we'll just have to wait and see. It would be nice for sure, but I doubt it'll happen.
Great video. I think I might have to move to a better photo area in retirement 🤣
I definitely don't take where I live for granted! 😁
Good video 👍 yeah I hope Samsung get pro mode on the telephoto camera too, why do you think they just have wide and ultra wide? I mean it's just a software thing
Thanks! I have no idea why they wouldn't include the tele in pro mode. It seems silly to me, and should definitely be an easy thing to put in there with a firmware update.
Yeah I was thinking of taking pictures of the moon rising over the mountains with the S21 Ultra and get some of that surface details, do you think you can try that as well? 🙂
I zoomed in on the moon and it went into astro mode or something
S20 and s21 are great ❤️
I have an opportunity to shoot the launch of SpaceX Falcon in the next few days. This s21 Ultra is new to me and I could really use your expertise in making this a phenomenal shot. Launch is pre-dawn (06:11) with vantage point to the West of pad, making the sunrise sky as the backdrop...
Nice huh? Throw me a few suggestions as to settings and I'd be
Awesomely appreciative. Thanks Brent
Oh that sounds cool! Also sounds kind of challenging though. Shooting east at sunrise can definitely make for a very dynamic scene, which is sometimes hard to capture right. Then adding a glowing bright streak through the scene. If you're not comfortable with pro mode and all the settings and options, then I'd definitely just stick to auto mode, and make sure your hdr option is on. The phones do a surprisingly good job with it. Depending on how light it is outside though, if it's not that light, your phone may try to jack up your iso a bit, which you won't want. Night mode would normally work really well in that case, but you'll have a fast, bright moving object going through your shot, which could make it come out a bit weird looking because of how it blends images together in night mode. If you have some setup time, and you want something cool, like a long exposure, then you could get your phone on the tripod, go into pro mode (probably even with an ND filter, cause you might want a shot that's a few sec long). It would be like shooting any other long exposure, just watch your highlights, if the rocket is too bright it will be blown out.
@@BrentHall Thanks Brent. I'll send you a copy of what I capture.
Greetings could you compare it to google pixel 4?
It's already done by : Shayne Mostyn - Mobile Photography (Spoiler: S21U's 30 second shot blew away Pixel's shot which took 4 mins!!)
sorry, I don't have one.
That star I see it every night, never know it name until now
have you tried it with the google pixel?
I haven't.
@@BrentHall It's pretty amazing the built in astrophotography that it comes with. I have the pixel 3a and it does an amazing job at least for my untrained eye.
I know this has nothing to do with the Samsung... But do you use Back Button Focusing? If so ...can you make a video for beginners using it for wildlife ? For example small birds and such.
Yes I do, and I definitely have many videos on it and on wildlife photography. Just search back button focus and my name in youtube and you'll find it. You can also go check out my wildlife photography playlist, which has wildlife tutorials and vlogs and such.
@@BrentHall thank you for responding back. I like how you cover all types of photography whether on a phone or digital.
So you are a Levi Ackerman fan as well. Nice.
😀😁🙌
How about Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra?
Please compare S21 Ultra with Google Pixel 4, or 5 in astrophotography mode
Sorry, I don't have any of those other phones. I just make videos with what I have.
I wish 108MP and telescope was available in pro mode. Sux that we need newest gcam.
iam new subscriber great video
Thanks man, I appreciate that!🙏
The very well done camera is really upgraded too well, but I thought that no one could match Huawei when it comes to photographing the sky and the moon.
Lmao I have the same Levi wallpaper on my phone and it caught me off guard
That's fantastic. :P
Would you say the 21 has better quality than the 20?
Idk, It's hard to tell so far, since I haven't really taken many images with the S21 yet. So far I do feel like the 21 bit color improvements are slightly noticeable, but as far as pure image quality goes, I'll need to use it some more before I can say.
Did i see Levi there, Ackerman genes strong
😁👊
What about the iPhone?
Don't know, I don't have one.
Also checkout czcams.com/video/Jj2rovJP15g/video.html. He does set ISO to 3200 so noisy but I'm guessing that adds more color details (and perhaps the location).
Would have been nice to see a Pixel for comparison.
It's already done by : Shayne Mostyn - Mobile Photography (Spoiler: S21U's 30 second shot blew away Pixel's shot which took 4 mins!!)
I would if I had a Pixel, but I don't. :(
@@DeepteshLovesTECH Blown away is a stretch both had their strengths and weaknesses. But ya, impressive.
I've taken better photos on my pixel with more light pollution.
photos.app.goo.gl/rhvk9yWDLUcWUCC87
Oh, thanks for putting me on to that channel. I've been looking for something like this.
@@Soldadummy No, he is right, the S21U killed the pixel
My pics come out almost all white with the same settings :/ Even in a almost black area
Like I said in the video, you can't just copy my exact settings and expect similar results. It sounds like you still have too much light pollution, whether it's from nearby cities or the moon, something is causing your image to be very over-exposed with those settings. Maybe try getting farther away from cities, wait until the moon is no in the night sky, or try lowering your iso until your image is better exposed.
@@BrentHall thank you so much. I figured it out. I lowered my ISO to 800 and it was much better. But when i was trying it was a full moon basically lol Thank you for replying.
@@BrentHall Now when I do this should i zoom in all the way or just do a nornal picture
Is that s21 ultra Exynos or Snapdragon?
Thanks ^^
Snapdragon
Having pro mode on the remaining 50% of the lenses would be great...
Yes it would...Stupid that Samsung cripples it like that.
@@BrentHall and 108MP mode. Would actually be amazing with raw and long exposure times...
I have a question
That's a statement...
@@BrentHall i have the samsung galexy S20 5G and I Wonder what software do I need to do the pro mode photo timelapse?
I use an app called intervalometer. I made a video about it with the s20.
@@BrentHall ok, thx. But what app/software do I need to make the photos to a timelapse?
I use LRTimelapse and light room. All of it is in the video.
czcams.com/video/K2vRi2dd1So/video.html
The take away from this video is the owner of S20 doesn't need to upgrade to S21, just enjoy it. (The international version has 2 issues: focus issues and Exynos 990 being worse performing processor)
There's literally no difference between focusing on the cactus or the stars because the phone has such a small sensor the depth of field is non existent
try 108 mp photos ..
I'm generally not a fan of the 108mp on the phones, especially since it's only in auto mode, and it tends to introduce more noise. But maybe I'll give it a go for a future video.
I think I'll stick with the pixel flagship.
I am going into this hopeful. I went from an s9 to an s21 ultra. So far I hate this phone. The pictures are awful compared to the s9. It seems to me to just be a vanity enhanced selfie camera. Zoom is great but who wants out of focus super zoom pictures. Hope you teach me the ways of the s21 cause I am not thrilled.
thanks elon musk
