Why is it so hard to get a good picture of the moon on an something like an iPhone
In: Technology
Mostly it’s the focal length. To a 20-30mm lens that average phones have, the moon is very tiny. This causes a few issues
The rest of the photo is basically pure black so the moon generally gets greatly overexposed and appears a bright white blob
Focus doesn’t work very well because the moon is so small
Put together, you get an out of focus, greatly overexposed moon that looks like garbage.
