One Tech Tip: How to use your smartphone to photograph the Northern Lights
LONDON (AP) — People in parts of the U.S. may be able to see Northern lights Monday night — or at least use a smartphone's camera to reveal hints of the aurora not visible to the naked eye. Space weather forecasters issued a rare, severe solar storm alert on Sunday after the sun let out a huge burst of energy called a coronal mass ejection last week. Another one headed toward Earth on Monday could produce more aurora sightings and with it, more social media posts of the majestic spectacle. If you plan to head outside after sunset to look for the lights, and photograph them, there are things you can do to make sure you get the best shot. First, though, try to find a quiet, dark area away from light pollution and check the weather forecast — clouds can cover up the aurora borealis. As for equipment, ideally, you should use a DSLR camera because its manual controls give you lots of control, and a tripod to hold it steady. But many people won't have this sort of equipment. But if you've only got a smartphone, you can still take great photos of the night skies. Here are some tips on how to shoot the Northern Lights: A good setup Before fiddling with your phone, take a few other steps to improve your chances of getting a good shot. First, dim your screen. A bright screen can hurt your night vision and both others nearby. Even if you don't have a tripod, it's best not to hold your phone with your hands while shooting at night because there's a good chance the picture will turn out blurry. Find something to rest your device against, like a hat, a book or even just the ground. Of course, check the forecast because auroras are best seen in clear skies. Find a dark spot, away from city lights and look north. Also, consider going horizontal instead of vertical to capture a wider image. Tips for the iPhone First, turn off your phone's flash. It's usually marked by the lightning bolt symbol in the corner of the screen. Next, use Night Mode, which is found on iPhone 11 and newer models. It usually turns on automatically in low light. You can tell it's on because a circular icon with a crescent moon will appear in the top left corner of the screen. For night shots, a longer exposure is better because there's more time for light to hit the lens. Apple says Night Mode's exposure length is normally determined automatically, but you can still experiment with manual controls. To get to the controls, tap the arrow at the top of the camera screen, which will bring up a row of controls at the bottom. Tap find the exposure icon, which is the same crescent moon symbol as the Night Mode icon. A slider will come up, which you can drag left or right to choose between Auto and Max timer settings. Max will give you the longest exposure time. Whichever setting you choose, it will be remembered for the next time. Then, tap the shutter button to take your shot. Better yet, turn on the countdown timer. The delay gives you time to move away and reduces the chance any movement from your finger will affect the shot. If you are going handheld, and the iPhone detects movement in the frame, it will display crosshairs. Try to keep them lined up to minimize any motion that can ruin the shot. Tips for Android devices There are similar night and astrophotography modes available on most Android devices. On Pixel phones, tap the Night Sight setting at the bottom of the screen. If you're using a tripod, the astrophotography setting will come up automatically once the phone has detected that it is still and ready, according to Google's online guide. Now you can press the shutter, which will trigger a five-second countdown timer before the phone starts taking a long exposure of up to four minutes. If you don't have a tripod, you'll have to activate the astro mode by tapping the crescent moon icon and swiping the slider. You'll still get a five-second timer when you hit the shutter, which Google says 'allows you to place your phone down on a steady surface facing the sky.' Then the phone will play a sound to let you know it's done. Newer Samsung phones can access an astrophoto mode, but users will have to download the company's free Expert Raw camera app to get it. Use a third-party app If you feel like you need some outside assistance for your snapshots, tourist boards and other outfits from some Nordic countries have suggestions for you. Iceland Air, for instance, has a blog entry on the best apps for taking pictures of the Northern lights, including the Northern Lights Photo Taker, which costs 99 cents to download and 'does exactly what it says," according to the post. Visit Norway suggests similar camera replacement apps, but notes that you should test them before you go to see what works best for you and the type of phone you have. ___

Kim Soo Hyun gains fan support after new Kim Sae Ron photos allegedly debunk underage dating claims: 'Please look at the truth'
Fans are rallying behind Kim Soo Hyun after Queen of Tears star's new photos with actress Kim Sae Ron surfaced online. The images, which show her holding an iPhone 11 Pro, are now being used as key proof to back Kim Soo Hyun's original dating timeline, and many believe it clears him of the underage dating rumors once and for all. The photo that initially sparked controversy was shared by the Garosero Institute and claimed to be from 2016. But these newly surfaced images suggest something very different. New Kim Sae Ron photos reveal an iPhone 11, debunking the '2016 park date' claim with Kim Soo Hyun, say fans Garosero previously claimed that a photo of Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun wearing red jackets was taken during a park date with Kim Soo Hyun in 2016. That image was used as supposed proof that he dated her while she was underage. But now, a new set of photos, believed to be from the same day, shows Kim Sae Ron holding an iPhone 11 Pro, which wasn't released until September 2019. The triple-camera setup is a clear giveaway, and fans say this directly supports Kim Soo Hyun's side of the story. He had said he dated Kim Sae Ron between July 2019 and September 2020, and with the phone model in the photo confirming a late 2019 timeline, fans believe this puts the rumors to rest. Fans break down the alleged timeline and call out misinformation The moment the new photos hit social media, fans began analyzing every detail. One user posted: 'It's very clear now that not once did #KimSooHyun lie when he said he dated #KimSaeron from July 2019–September 2020. The first iPhone with a triple-camera was released on September 20, 2019 — and she's holding it. Same outfits, same day. That's not 2016.' Another wrote: 'All those people saying she looked younger in the photo — it's the angle. The real kicker is the iPhone. And her own grandfather, Kwon Yeong Chan, said, This photo is from December 2019.' This pic is from 2019 once again superstar #KimSooHyun proven innocent. This pic at seoul forest was taken from iPhone 11 as you can see in the 2nd pictureThose who are crying about how it's from 2016 have please clean your eyes. It proves that KSH is right#김수현#Kimsaeron MORE PHOTOS INDICTS KIM SAE RON'S PARENTS IN FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST KIM SOO HYUN Remember the child and star picture between Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun that was misrepresented to push the grooming narrative? Yes that one, turns out she wasn't just the only child he took… Many also took aim at the Garosero Institute, accusing it of spreading false information: 'Garoduck knew what he was doing when he released that photo. It was to push the story that Soo Hyun dated her as a minor. But this photo proves otherwise.' Support trucks show up for Kim Soo Hyun: 'Facts vs. fabrication' Offline, fans are also showing up in support. Several coffee trucks and banners were sent to Gold Medalist and other filming locations, all in solidarity with Kim Soo Hyun. Some of the slogans on display included: 'Consistent facts vs. fabricated evidence. Who is telling the truth?' 'Garo Sero Institute refused forensic analysis and presented false evidence.' 'Don't be swayed by lies and incitement. Please look at the truth.' #김수현 #KimSoohyun @청계광장 Others called attention to the legal side of things: 'Formal investigation requested, legal proceedings underway. Clear facts presented.' With photo proof now backing Kim Soo Hyun's timeline and growing support from fans both online and offline, many believe it's only a matter of time before the full truth is officially recognised.

Man jailed for stealing smart phone from shop in Brunei
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, May 13 (Xinhua) -- The Magistrate Court of Brunei sentenced a 45-year-old unemployed man to 16 months in jail on Monday after he was found guilty of stealing an iPhone 11 from a shop near the capital, local media reported on Tuesday. According to the local daily Borneo Bulletin, the court handed down the sentence to Mohd Noramir Jamil, who had pleaded guilty to theft, which carries a penalty of up to seven years imprisonment and a fine. The theft incident occurred on May 3, when Mohd Noramir entered a shop and noticed an unattended iPhone 11 on a table near a desktop computer. After ensuring the shop was quiet and no one was around, he took the device and left the premises. The phone belonged to a shop employee who discovered the theft shortly after and alerted her employer. Mohd Noramir went to a bus stop in the capital and approached a mobile phone shop where he sold the stolen device for 50 Brunei dollars (about 38.33 U.S. dollars).
