I’ve been enjoying going through this thread tonight. Figured I’ll share a couple. Taken with iPhone 15 Pro.

Are the 15 Pro and 14 Pro camera the same size physically? I have a Twelvesouth SurfacePad folio for my 14 Pro. I was wondering if it would fit a 15 Pro?

i don’t think it will fit. i believe the phone itself is slightly different in dimensions and the camera module is slightly more pronounced on the 15 pro/max. plus the action button.

It’s not hard. Once you learn what each tool does and where it’s located, you’ll get the hang of it fairly quickly. YouTube tutorials are helpful as well. I quickly learned the tools by opening each one on a photo and making adjustments to see what happens. Then I knew which tool to use and how heavily it is applied.
What tool do you recommend in lightroom for Human subjects (Darker skin african american women for example) for enhancing the lighting without overexposing them.

A lot of pictures we took at a christmas event, i look washed out trying to edit and it's SOO annoying.
 
Took this with 30 second exposure by leaning my phone on my windshield and using the remote shutter on my Apple Watch, lol. I took another one with Raw, but it didn't capture as many stars for some reason. I live near a city so it's not as impressive as some other shots, but still pretty good!

This is really good. I’ve learned to hold down on the screen and adjust the exposure setting. To capture note light, increase the exposure. You’ll get a ton more stars. But you might after to edit after. I love how Subaru, or Pleiades, can be spotted right away.
 
Not well. The most is 30 seconds and it has to be leaning or using a tripod otherwise the max you get is 10 seconds.
The Reeflex app I used goes from 1 sec to 1 hour and more.

Use the subject, selection tool, and Lightroom should detect human subjects fairly easily, unless they are mixed in with other objects where the auto selection doesn’t work very well. When the subject is selected, they will be highlighted in red, and from there you would use your shadows, exposure, color tool, dehaze tool etc. to make adjustments to that subject. below, I posted some samples on which buttons to press in Lightroom mobile to access the subject tool. if you’re wanting to adjust skin, color and contrast, etc., you can adjust that using the color, sliders, saturation, etc. to help with that. let me know if this has helped you.

That is the sky-watcher star adventurer, which is an Astro tracker for tracking the night sky, so you can take long exposures of the stars and galaxies.

I kinda thought that but wasn’t sure. Can a n iPhone mount to it too? I’m guessing yes. My DSLR is on the brink.

Yes it can. It has a maximum payload of 11 pounds so the iPhone will fit perfectly on there without any counterweights. I’ve used my iPhone on it many times. just get yourself an iPhone mount that have 1/4 20 threads in it to secure it to the top of the mount. Polar alignment is fairly easy, there is an app for that as well that matches the polar alignment scope, and it tells you exactly where to put the north star, I can have mine set up in less than 10 minutes. If you have any other questions regarding this tracker, just ask.
