Eli5 how people are able to take pictures of the moon and it looks freaking huge.
In: 1
You get a very long camera lens and photograph a person who is very far away.
The moon is essentially always just over 0.5 degrees of view. With an 800mm lens on a 35mm camera that’s just under 1/3rd of the frame. It’s possible to take a portrait of a person with an 800mm lens, you just need to be fairly far from the subject.
