I captured this image on my phone with no professional gear or prior experience in photography and editing. I was really drawn to the composition, so I decided to go for it anyway.
I set a 5-second exposure to capture the stars in Scorpius, fully accepting that the Moon would end up blown out/overexposed in order to preserve the constellation.
I’d love to get some feedback and advice from the community. What settings or techniques could I try next time to improve this using just a smartphone?
