I know shooting from a smartphone is sacrilege for most photography enthusiast, but always have my phone with me.
That being said the default camera app for the iPhone leaves a lot to be desired. My old Nokia Lumia 1020 windows phone that was unveiled almost 10 years ago was far superior than my curent 14 pro max with the default app.
There are a few apps that give better control of the iPhone camera, just wondering if anyone has used any vs just reading online reviews that may be biased.
One that gets good reviews is Halide Mark II - Pro Camera, but obviously it's not free.
So I have been using my iPhone to take video of my kids high school marching band performances. Having outgrown the default limited iOS video recorder I started to recording video recording apps.
I settled on Cinema P3, great value and it's non-subscription. It also has s still photo function, letting you manually control a lot of features. I played around it with quick last night for the first time and finally got a hand held moon shot with an iPhone.
If you look close on the bottom left you can see Jupiter.
Even used the shot to fill in some time from last night's band performance video.
