iPhone 11 Pro Night Mode is the real deal - post your photos here [MERGED]

I had some fun last night with night mode. Went to see Harry Potter on Broadway. So the first pic is from my phone but zoomed OUT without night mode. Shows how dark the stage actually is.

This second one, is a close up of the stage, again without night mode turned on.

Then i started having fun. Turned it on. Look at how bright it got in the corners of the stage.

When there was a bit of light earlier this evening night mode looked pretty good however now in a room completely dark and the results are very different. Am I doing something wrong? Night mode is definitely on the 2 images are with night mode for three seconds and ten seconds

I’m having the same issue!
And on top of that when it does work the images are super blurry and low quality and a lot of softening in the image it’s so bad.
 
I’m still waiting for my 11 pro but I presume you need quite a steady hand if it has to stay open for more than a few seconds. Also can it automatically set the exposure time or do u have to do it manually?

You need to manage expectations. It’s not going to work well with absence of any light. It’s called night mode, not absence of light mode.

You need to be fairly steady, but you have optical stabilization to help with that. Also software chooses sharp photos to merge since it takes multiple shots during that time, not just a single long exposure. As for exposure time, it’s automatic with some manual control if you want longer time.

While not exactly a nite mode shot, I am growing more disappointed with the wide angle camera on the 11 Pro Max. as others have stated.

Compared to the tiny 1 year old front facing wide angle camera on the Pixel 3, the Pro Max leaves much to be desired in low lit (not dark) scenes. The shots tend to be far darker than I would like, and the noise reduction makes for a muddy mess (look at the Apple keyboard to the far left, mesh on the Mac Pro, and other details). The color temperature is also far warmer for some reason on the iPhone, not true to life.

I like taking wide shots inside of restaurants, and my office (currently) is no darker than some of my frequent haunts, some of which I have posted wide (front camera) shots from my Pixel with decent success. I'll give both a shot tonight in another test.

Hoping a software update fixes some of this.

I believe low light indoor scenes are exactly what Deep Fusion is meant to improve, so yes, a software update will absolutely help.

Yes you do need steady heads, and yes it automatically sets exposure time but you can also manually change it

So seeing some sky shots with Night Mode, I decided to do a midnight experiment. I pulled out a small tripod and phone clip. I discovered if you are hand holding the iPhone, your Night Mode is limited to 10 seconds. However if you are on a tripod, the Night Mode will take a 28 second capture. So that is what you see here. A 28 second capture of the night sky over Northern California, using the telephoto lens. You cannot see this with your naked eyes. There's too much light pollution. However I suppose going out to the country side, might yield better results.

This shot is using the Slow Sutter App. It's a 60 second shot of the same as above. However I didn't have the freedom to choose the framing. I need to play with the program more.

Here's the shot again, running for 277 seconds. I didn't have a timer. However my dog came by and wondered what I was doing. I figured it was enough time. The blip in the light trail, is the delay from the previous image to the second, still the open shutter time is listed in the exif data.
