Samsung S21 Ultra Astrophotography | How to take photos of the stars with Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
In this video we will be unboxing the Samsung S21 Ultra and doing a Samsung s21 ultra camera test in very low light conditions. On this channel we have recently done lots of iPhone 12 Pro Max camera testing and in this video we will do a s21 ultra vs iphone 12 pro max camera test when we photograph the stars in our very clear night skies. There are lots of tests that can be done with new phones, but with very low light photography, that is, astrophotography with your phone, its the ultimate Samsung s21 ultra camera test

I have to disagree with the "ugly" part. I found S21 ultra to look beautiful. It was amazing the way they blended the camera module into the design. It's easier to hold than 12 pro max.
Well, no offense to him but design and style do not look like his specialty.
@@mishasolar Yes. I had to disagree with him. S21 ultra looks really beautiful. The phantom black color is just amazing. He called it ugly, not once but many times. I don't know how you can call this gorgeous phone ugly looking.
@@akhile9316 Let's be honest, it's just his opinion. That's it. Appearance is subjective.
@@nikotakai8796 I own a S21 ultra and I said my opinion. You can't call such a good looking phone ugly multiple times.
@Michael Smith The Phantom black looks beautiful.
UGLY? the camara bump is the best thing on the whole phone LMAO
IPHONE USER 😑
Absolutely ugly in outline and edges
right it looks way better than random bump growing out of the center like all other phones.
Absolutely trutth//...It's giving the best futuristic Cutting Edge Look
I agree! I think the camera bump blending into the frame is just 😘
WOW, never thought you could make pictures like that with a phone.
Its pretty incredible.
Impressive s21 ultra camera, only stupid people buy sony alpha xxx when s21 ultra far superior than sony trash camera.
Pixel has been doing this
@@tama5890 Fr boy? You need to open your eyes 👀 a phone is not in the same league as a camera
@Gianna Dior ManuelFerrara yeah astrophotography/long exposure has been apart of the pixel awhile. Wait to see proof?
Me: Pre-ordered The 21 Ultra Steve Jobs (if alive) : Me too !
HAHA best comment on the video! HAHA
@@ShayneMostyn 😅 I really liked your vid ! I've learned a lot and subscribed too see what's next 👍😉

In your dreams, gurl.
Who else like me is watching the reviews after pre-ordering S21 Ultra?
Dude i have a doubt .. if i pre order S21 now then when will i get my hands on that phone??
Hand Up! Can’t wait for mine to arrive...
I pre ordered the S21+
@@Nadheem721 probably on 29th
In my country you get galaxy buds pro for free if you preorder.
In my mind, the s21 ultra is the most beautiful phone ever made, except for the hole-punch on the front. I just love it's weight, and the minimalist yet classy design and the the embracing of its huge camera module. Each to their own, but I think it looks spectacular.
I agree, I constantly catch myself just kind of admiring it. I have the black one and it's so stealthy, yet classy like you said, it just knows it's a beast
This is the best design camera so far it's so beautiful. Idk why you calling it's ugly
I tried this on the regular S21 and it works just as fine.. man I'm just so damn glad I chose this instead of the iphone, I'm in love with the camera setup
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
Awesome stuff
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
@@georgemusa2599 Spam somewhere else ducker
11 seconds is about the limit if you want to avoid star trailing. I'd also knock the ISO down to about 800 at most. You can get some excellent results at those settings.
I am getting white image i mean pure white image
@@FoodRecipes108 probably too much light around . You have to do it in darkness. The longer the lens is open (11 sec.) The more light gets into the photo. That's why you can see the stars so nice, because it let's a lot of the light from them, that is normally too dim to show. Also you have to use a tripod and it can't be shaking at all
@@keenang4705 I was having the same issue. I'm gonna try this.
This is perfect! I'm I've been getting into astrophotography with my S20 Ultra and never really found a good resource for my particular set up, now I'm getting the S21 Ultra! Subbed! Cheers from Albuquerque, NM USA
Thanks so much for watching. Welcome aboard! I imagine you would be able to get away from the light pollution and get some cracking shots in NM mate.
Got my one 3 days ago pre orderd with the ear buds pro best phone!
I'm seriously impressed. I've always wanted to take these kinds of photos and I happen to have this phone. Can't wait to try it!
Hi Shayne, thank you so much - this video made me decide finally between getting the S21 Ultra instead of the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I also subbed to your channel, very informative. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for watching mate. Welcome aboard!
AWESOME photo you just made while filming. Thank you!
I ordered an S21 Ultra with the color of Phantom Black and when it arrived its really amazing i tired astrophotography and its so amazing
First time seeing you mate, great review, thank you
Thanks and welcome mate
Freaking amazing, hard to believe that pic came from a phone
Thanks mate, I really appreciate that. Bloody amazing eh.
Ilkketrains
Wow. I've had the s21 ultra since March and only ever used the standard out of the box camera settings. What an amazing phone looking forward to trying this out. Thanks. Liked and subscribed.
Now I’m looking forward to this mate 📱❤️🌙
Hope you liked it mate.
Amazing. I just got my S21 Ultra and this is probably the best camera tutorial I've found so far. No fancy shit just straight to it. You have earned a sub my friend.
Thanks so much for watching. Welcome aboard!
What an amazing job on the photo editing! Its truly astonishing what the s21 Ultra is capable of. Also, thanks for the great video and editing demonstration. I'm inspired to take time out of my busy life to enjoy one of my hobbies like astrophotography.
Thank you very much!
I can't wait to get mine and stack some photos with sequator !
I have the S21 Ultra arriving tomorrow and stumbled across your channel when looking for reviews on the phone, so glad I found you! The only issue is being in the UK, we don't get skies like you do. But wow, amazing stuff! Thanks ya bloody legend!
Thanks for watching you Bloody Legend!
the video i was waiting! thank you Shayne you're the best.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Great video! Subscribed and looking forward to more on mobile photography. Oh and the S21 is elegant and stylish 😉
Thanks so much for watching. Welcome aboard! Elegant and stylish eh? HAHAHA nice one mate.
That's genuinely astonishing! 😮
Just subbed! Great video!
Absolutely amazing! New subscriber here!
Thanks so much for watching. Welcome aboard!
Can't wait to get this phone and put it through my Telescope. Hopefully get some better images of the Moon than what I am getting with my current phone
how did that work out? thinking of doing the same but dont know which telescope to go with.
@@leoruiz8813 It was great! Got some really good pictures and images of the Moon!
What about without the telescope
@@Nonprofitgenie what telescope do you have?
@@grgott691 I did some with 30x and 100x zoom just straight off the cuff no filters or anything and they came out amazing, best camera phone I've ever used .
Wow, Im impress
Thank You Sir For Your Guidance ❤
Always welcome
What type of witch craft is that i never knew it could do that,thats literally so amazing!!!
HAHAHA thats hilarious!
Wtf I'd never imagine that a phone could make this kind of pics
Awesome stuff indeed man! Thanks!!!
You bet!
Thank you for this information!
My pleasure!
Subscribed! I have this phone arriving in a month and as a hobby photographer, this interests me greatly 😁
Thanks so much for watching. Welcome aboard!
Nooooo an entire month?!? That wait is going to suck for u man. Mine is actually coming earlier than the initial delivery date, so maybe yours will too!
@@tomp9002 I'm just happy I managed to get one 😅, the wait will be well worth it
Uhhhh that back is not ugly in my opinion. It's the nicest looking camera bump on any phone in my honest opinion.
SWEET!!
Brilliant! Thank you!
Holy moly. Did not expect that photo. I literally dropped my jaw.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
First time viewer that stumbled across this video (thank youtube). Will this work for the snapdragon s20 fe? I'm very new when it comes to pro pictures. I don't have any experience with editing a picture.
Yes mate it should work for you. It wont look quite as good as this one, but it will work.
freaking amazing!
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
This is one of my fave too. 😍😍😍😍
I like your new background, the s21 looks amazing!
Thanks mate, I appreciate it.
When you switch the phone to 12M it’ll give you a 2.4 pixel size. Which much bigger than on the iPhone 12max
Are you sure mate? I have found nothing that says 2.4? A Sony A7Riii is 4.5 and its a full frame camera. Can you send me a link that shows this please? Regardless, its pretty bloody impressive eh? Thanks mate.
@@ShayneMostyn after nona binning 3x3 ...pixel size become 2.4 macron
@@thetechtrapped899 Ah ok, thanks mate
@@ShayneMostyn yeah, I just knew that a month ago on a Chanel comparing iPhone 12mp cam and note20 108mp cam. I got shocked when I found about that.
Wow. Just wow. Didn't know you could do astrophotography with a phone like that.
It looks perfect to me.. Quality over Beauty!
Wow, that's amazing!! I never though you can make such an incredible photos with a phone. Thanks for sharing this type of content 👏 New sub 🤙
My pleasure!
I think it's beautiful. Also with the binning the pixels are 2.4 microns so much larger than the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Brilliant. Cant believe it was the first shot as well.
Its so impressive!
Thank you, Shayne. Your video is an awesome find - and better still, an Aussie production! I'm waiting for my S21 Ultra to arrive. Very excited.
Thanks mate 👍👍
Awesome video! Thank you for your effort! Please, make an astrophotography video with some of the Huaweis, P/Mate 40 pro. They are known with their night capabilities. :)
Thanks mate. I need to get a hold of these phones, but I suspect they will be very similar to this one.
Just got my S21+ Hope I'm not too far behind
Amazing work Sir!!
Thank you! Cheers!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
Damn that intro was long lol
When I take a picture using the settings provided the picture just comes out completely white
Yh mine too
Are you guys in or near a town? Probably light pollution from the area. He was out on a property
Same here
Too bright. You literally have to be where it's completely dark
I would greatly agree, really good photos. WOW!
Fantastic!! Thank you!! 🌌
You're so welcome!
Me- going too buy Camera , Shoopkeeper- which one you need . Me- ugliest one. 😪
Wow, this video is amazing. Not only do you show what the camera is capable of (and how to do it), but also show how to edit it without purchasing anything. This is great work!
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
this was really cool man. thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tutorial! Really appreciate the post-processing insight too.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video def coming back
Thanks so much for watching. Welcome aboard!
I was gonna wait for the ultra 22 but this is just awesome
thank you thank you THANK YOU
Dude you changed my life last June. I just wanted to say thank you.
Wow, thanks
@@ShayneMostyn I'd love for you to look over some of my work and give me some advice.
Awesome!!! Been looking for a tutorial like this. Cheers!
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
Awesome, thanks. Subscribed and will sign up on your website. Regards from the Kimberley in WA.
I just found your channel and I plan on doing some astrophotography myself would you buy a LED light that mounts on the case for photos l or should i use a flashlight like you
Craaaaaaaazy. Got my s21 ultra few days ago. Defo will try this out!!
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
Maravilloso
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
That's a fantastic thing ever I seen
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
Fantastic video thank you!
Glad you liked it!
S21 has .7 micron pixels but thats before the nona-binning that converts 3x3 pixels into one virtual pixel of 2.7 microns for low lights performance. Also Pro mode while shooting Raw offers 12 Bit HDR!!! This video was enough proof for me to trade up!
I had a feeling that as soon as you saw these shots you would be upgrading :)
@@ShayneMostyn I will say I’m disappointed that Samsung doesn’t have an image stacking mode like pixel. That massive 1/1.33” sensor can absorb a lot of light and with an image stacking mode I think this phone would be insane.
@@superdutyzack I was hoping that g-cam would be available on this phone, not yet though.
@@ShayneMostyn That would be awesome! I’m just surprised Samsung hasn’t taken initiative yet. They could call it GalaxyView or GalaxySight and because the camera sensor is larger and the CPU is faster than the pixel it wouldn’t need to shoot for 4 minutes, hell look at how good it is at 30 seconds!
@@superdutyzack night mode stacks images together
Best review, enjoyed 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting what you say about this phone being ugly etc. After getting this phone on contract I must say my problem is its too long as width is right size but its too long. I've tried astrophotography with it and it's pretty good. Even in bottle 6 skies I think it is a big improvement over the disappointing samsung s7. Still I'm going to do astrophotography with this phone in even darker skies and what you got here its amazing how far smartphone cameras has come over the years. You look amazed at how good this phone is and I think that shot looks fantastic. The amount of stars and detail in milky way just shows these phones no longer playing catch up to dslrs any more. It's good that you can this level of photography from small censors. Huawei p40pro iPhone Pixel and Samsung are all up there with dslrs and giving more people to try astrophotography. Samsung I give credit to them and you show here how great this phone is. Phones camera could be better looking but with these shots nobody won't even bother. Seeing your reaction shows your passion for smartphone astrophotography plus using all these phones. Next five years I guess astrophotography with your phone will be like having a high end dslr in your pocket! Smartphone astrophotography is going to get even more popular and exciting times are coming for us all when we are out and see the stars and think I want to photograph those stars and take out our phone and get great results! Great video mate and great shots too!
It performs well enough. I think with the lenses offset so much on a geometric case, it just looks a bit odd to me. Yes its certainly exciting times ahead mate, thats for sure
Beautiful pictures from a beautiful phone
Spectacular awesome bro, Thank you.
My pleasure
I was waiting for this
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
That! Was sick af. Liked and subscribed my man.
Thanks so much for watching. Welcome aboard!
That is incredible!!!
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
Great vid. I am going to try this on my Samsung fold 2.
This vid really helped me buy my s21 ultra a week ago
Love it Thanks for sharing. Greetings form Ibiza island
Thanks for watching!
I have the pixel 4xl, and I've taken a few insane sky photos and wanted to make the s21 switch but I didn't want to lose the badass camera/night mode photos, but after seeing this...........makes me feel so much better
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
Thanks Shane, great video and thanks for sharing. Saying hello all the way from Vancouver Island, Canada. I just discovered your channel not too long ago and enjoying the astro photography. I have only taken a few photo's with my S20 Ultra of stars, I'm more of a waterfall fanatic. But this summer I will get more into the astro. Especially with the help of these video's. Cheers
Welcome aboard mate!
Is there more content for this phone and different type of scenario like using pro video or taking picture of mountains.
Awesome. Thanks for the video.
You bet!
Incredible.. I just ordered this phone and had no idea it could do this. Thank you for sharing this video.
Glad I could help
Shayne, 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.
@@Nathan-wn5mc nope, no cgi involved, this is just how starts show up on such a small sensor
I was just looking at s21 ultra reviews before I buy one and ran across this. Incredible video and I subscribed. I have never seen a KZhead video that made me want to go to a website and pay, but this is one of them. Great job and thanks from the USA.

Watched your video repeatedly today and your pro 12 video on moon shots for tonight's pink super moon. Found a great spot just before dark and guess what I forgot. My reading glasses!!! Couldn't see a thing on camera settings lol. Got a ok photo but eager to get better and learn more. Thanks mate
HAHA I have done that! Its like a bit of pot luck, you dont know what you have captured until you get home!
