Did you get sick of seeing tons of aurora borealis photos in your social feeds last week?

Not me!

I couldn't get enough of it. I LOVED seeing everyone's photos!

I also jumped on board. Instead of using my fancy Nikon camera, I brought my iPhone 14 out one night and it did a pretty good job.

Today I'll show you how easy it is to capture Aurora Borealis (or a starry night sky) on your iPhone.

Equipment List

1. A mobile phone tripod with bluetooth remote*

2. An iPhone in Night Mode

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

1. Go to an open field away from city lights on a clear night.

2. Attach the camera to the tripod.

3. Activate Night Mode on the iPhone camera

4. Scroll to the max. (it'll be about 20 to 30 seconds long)

5. Click the bluetooth remote to take the photo.

6. Wait for the photo to be taken (the shutter will be open for 20 - 30 seconds)

7. Take the photo to Lightroom Mobile and edit the contrast, saturation, clarity, sharpening and noise reduction.
