I have tried everything. Camera settings different lights. This as good as I can get
Any ideas
And I can't check later because of work

Type of phone?

It's still a picture

It's hard to do. I found don't put the flashlight directly on the animal shine it off to side a little, then also hold your camera/phone off to side a little with your arm fully outstretched to left or right. Keep moving the flashlight a little until you can see an optimal pic in the phone screen before snapping the shot.
And hey it's dark and sometimes that is as good as it gets!



But hey you did get a pic and it's a coyote, nice catch too!

Some cell phone cams flash are weak and do not point at the center of the picture. Experiment at home to find where your flash illuminates best and at what distance. That knowledge will help you determine the best set up for good pictures. Take lots of pictures from different angles and distances. Later you will find that some are better than others. Keep the best and trash the others.

Also, some better quality cameras have "image stabilization" that help to prevent blurred pictures from moving the camera when pushing the button, some don't. If you move the camera when taking the picture, your pics will not be sharp and clear. I found that resting against something (tree or whatever) to help me keep the camera still when taking a picture greatly improved the clarity and sharpness of my pictures.

Thanks I'm going to spend some money and buy a camera. My iPhone took great pics at night and then I dropped it in the tanning solution. I lost the whole season until mid DEC. I tried to save a little money and bought a droid
You get what you pay for.

I'd say get a light without a main beam and let the camera focus

Still a Great Picture... congrats on the yote!

I have a Droid and it takes good pictures in the dark. The keys is like said above don't point the flashlight rite at the catch just illuminate the area around it and the flash will do the rest. Great picture tho.

Cam am headlights is all I need and for catch to remind still.. phone is a Samsung S5 little older phone but takes awesome pics and I can resize on the phone to post here

My phone I can turn the flashlight (same ad the camera flash) on before opening the camera app, so I can get a better idea how the picture is going to look before I take it.

There are plenty of Droid phones that take good pics, but obviously the cheaper ones aren’t as good. The camera quality is the ONLY positive thing I can say about my Iphone. It’ll be the last one I own.
