NORTHERN LIGHTS: Take my picture! Please! I don't look great now but the photos will be spectacular, bursts of green and pink! Take as many photos as you can!
THE MOON: Do not take my photo, if you little apes dare to photograph me I will be so tiny, I swear to god I will make myself so goddamn tiny
Why do you think Samsung started super imposing better photos of the moon, over the photos you yourself took with the phone.
And yes, that was a thing they were caught doing, literally replacing the moon in your photos with a better looking one.
Northern Lights: Yesssss take my picture I am so easy to photograph even your terrible pictures will look amazing
Solar eclipse: I am a picky-ass diva, if you don't have the exact right camera settings I swear to god--
We tend to think standard camera lenses are the same as the naked eye, but in fact they're slightly wide-angle, so things look further away. A longer lens (or a moderate zoom in) is more realistic, insofar as the moon should look more like what we see irl
(not an expert)
South Pole–Aitken basin, the Moon. Our first crater is a big one: the biggest, deepest and oldest impact crater on the Moon. It is 2,500km diameter, 6.2 to 8.2km deep and formed roughly 4.2 billion years ago.
PORTLAND, OR: Umm.. ok I got the moon but the Aurora, umm .. not sure.. unless that's...yeah I suppose that could be a hint of green. [Takes photo with phone]: oh yeah, now you can kinda see it.
The moon is really tiny in the sky compared to the field of view of a "normal" camera lens.
Our eyes judge size through the relative size of other objects, so the moon can look big next to terrain. It ain't.
ALSO the moon is BRIGHT. It's sun-lit, so you have to use the sunny 16 rule at night!
