The galactic centre shot on iPhone 16 Pro Max. Anyone can do this, if you have an iPhone 12 and up. It should be similar for Android. 🧵:

The stars above the old Scottish country house we stayed in, #shotoniphone in Night Mode. Each exposure was 30 seconds (in a tripod). Tap and lock the screen, drag the slider down slightly to take out any over exposure of the sky while retaining the stars.

What’s the etiquette on a long-haul flight (13 hours) when the person next to you is unwell? I felt sorry for her but she coughed every five minutes (onto my arm) and placed all her snotty tissues into the seat pocket. I wore a mask (which I don’t enjoy) but she wouldn’t. My son is now unwell.

Updating content for my Mobile Journalism students, I came across this interview I did with @marcsettle.bsky.social in a pokey little room at the BBC in 2017. I ran it through Adobe Podcast enhance speech AI, the results are quite impressive.

Game-changer for my workflow. The remote feature in Black Magic Camera app: iPad controlling 2 iPhones. Acam set to 24mm, B is 48mm. Main audio on the Acam, using Rode AI-Micro with headphones to monitor, reference audio on Bcam.
