After-Dark Photography with Samsung Galaxy A and S Series

Samsung Galaxy S and A series have Night Mode and Pro Mode

1. Optimize your camera phone settings - In low-light photography, getting the perfect settings for a certain scenario is the key to a great shot. Thankfully, the Galaxy A and S series have two key functions namely the Pro Mode and Night Mode.

Night Mode uses multi-frame processing to produce a clear photo in low light instantaneously, while Pro Mode gives you control over individual settings that affect light levels before you snap a photo, such as ISO, shutter speed, and aperture.

Both are accessible via the Camera app's "More" tab. Night Mode's multi-frame processing combines 30 images into one clear photo. This is the faster solution that is meant for a point-and-shoot low-light shot.

Pro mode requires a bit more knowledge about different aspects of photography and cameras. You will need to manually dial different settings such as Shutter Speed and ISO. At first, it can be overwhelming but once you get it, it is a great addition to your arsenal as a mobile photographer.

Play with Space Zoom, Bokeh, and Reflections

2. Get Creative - At night, there are a lot of artistic approaches you can do. With the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, you can use the Space Zoom feature to let you capture clear shots even from far away. This was the perfect feature for the recent Super Blood Moon.

Using Pro Mode, you can also create abstract shots of lights in the streets and more. Just adjust the settings again as well as the focus of the shot. Manual focus is suggested here for you to control which is in focus. Light streaks are also available with low ISO levels and a slower Shutter Speed of up to 2 seconds.

3. Don't be afraid to use post-production edits - Once you get your preferred shot, you can enhance it further with some post-production magic. You can still adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, and more after the shot to give your photos more oomph.
