iPhone 13 Pro Max takes incredible photos of the Milky Way

Despite the progress in smartphone photography in recent years, there is one question that still divides photographers:can we just need a mobile to make high quality prints?

Julien Grondin, professional photographer and reader of iPhon.fr, gave us some answers with very telling arguments: 3 photographs of the Milky Way, at night, taken with hisiPhone 13 Pro Max.

The details of his shot

Julien Grondin was kind enough to detail the procedure that allowed him to achieve these magnificent results:

• Choice of location:the photos were taken in Auvergne
• Plug material:iPhone 13 Pro Max and tripod

• Shooting:night mode activated on the iPhone and setting for 30 seconds of exposure. For each photo, approximately 10 photographs are saved. This technique called “stacking” in astrophotography (photography of the night sky) makes it possible to limit noise and improve the visibility of certain details
• Format :the photographs were saved in ProRAW
• Retouches:under Lightroom and Photoshop, work on contrasts and colorimetry was finally carried out

We can only admire the result, which clearly shows that the iPhone, and more particularly the latest 13 Pro Max model, is a very good camera. The results it can provide, both day and night, are impressive. As long as you know a little about it, especially for post-production work.

Thanks to Julien Grondin for sharing his experience. His work can be found on hisInstagram.

Are there any other professional and/or enthusiast photographers among you who work a lot with the iPhone? If yes, with which model?
