Why does the moon look like a beautiful Renaissance painting face to me when looking at it with the naked eye, but in any photograph of the moon I just don’t see it?

Question

As above. Is my brain creating the image due to bad eyesight?

Answer 1

we humans see very well in the dark because our brains complete the missing information, so you are seeing a reconstruction of the real thing, that’s why you cannot take a good photo of the moon without optical zooming.
