You don’t need a $1,000 phone to win a Pulitzer photography award.
Minkov used a ladder to climb a bit higher and get a good view of this sunflower field. He then took 10 consecutive shots at different exposures to get that beautiful Milky Way looking as stunning as it is. The phone was set to 30 second exposure, ISO 3200, using the main camera of the phone with an aperture of f/1.9. And then, one more shot was captured to get those sunflowers as bright as you see them. All of those shots were then stacked in post, and you have this incredible result.
For us, this image is as impressive as it is motivational: go out and shoot! The weather is beautiful and you can capture such epic nights on even the cheapest phone.
