iPhone photographers around the world participated in the Night mode photo challenge, sharing their captivating Night mode images shot on iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

A curated panel of judges selected six winning photos from thousands of submissions worldwide.

Soni shot the winning image on iPhone 11 Pro.

“This one blows my mind. I have no idea where that deep rich red light is coming from on the tree. It almost feels like a UFO sitting above the tree, just out of frame. Absolutely beautiful composition as well,” said Tyler Mitchell, one of the judges at the panel.

“The rich red colour of the tree and ground gives this picture an otherworldly quality. Paired with the night sky, it feels like a still from a sci-fi film,” added Arem Duplessis.

The winning images will be featured in a gallery on apple.com, Apple Instagram and will appear globally on billboards.

iPhone 11 Pro features a triple-camera system, both deeply integrated into iOS 13, with intuitive and powerful new tools to enable every customer to shoot like a professional.
