Some awesome shots in this thread.. sadly none of the photos I've taken with this mode turn out. They are all extremely dark and blurry. Some of that is my fault since my hands tend to twitch when taking photos but night mode just doesn't work for me. The "dark" is what is getting me.. it shouldn't look like that but it does.

have you tried to increase exposure and hold still? i’ve been trying night mode in some incredibly dark environments and what it does is incredible, at 10s it captures more light than my eye can see.

I’m really enjoying night mode a lot. I used my iPhone 11 Pro Max in hand but also got some amazing shots with a tripod (pic not included).

This is what I have been doing.
1. Use a tripod for longer exposure
2. Turn on a small flashlight 🔦 as indirect light and the iPhone will render extremely better night mode pics.
3. Always try to get the subject to stay as still as possible to avoid blurring.
