@motoridersd that's because your eyes have a different effective focal lenght!

@kkarhan @motoridersd Is that really why? I feel so much better knowing that. I feel silly for not knowing it, but grateful that I do now.

one of the most annoying parts of using a camera where the lens isn't centred but off in one corner or one end of a rectangle.

@motoridersd @kinsale42 I was surprised to get this shot..and it was in the afternoon . And it's the moon. With an S23. 6x setting

@gregg1049 Unfortunately, the sensors in smartphones are too small and quality of lenses too poor to do effective moon photography without tricks. Samsung has been caught using machine learning to enhance moon photos using an algorithm trained on existing images of the moon

Samsung caught faking zoom photos of the Moon

A Reddit post has revealed just how much post-processing the Galaxy S23’s camera applies when it detects it’s taking a photo of the Moon, inserting extra detail that isn’t present in reality.

@jwtownshend Faking🤔 I just pointed 👉 and chose a focus option. The Samsung S series of phones especially the S25 is well known for its camera capabilities. It isn't Nikon. It's just a 📱 phone..yet impressive.

@motoridersd Can't confirm that.. I made a photo of the moon, when it was behind some braches. It looked smaller on the picture, yes. But it "touched" all braches as it looked like with the bare eye.

@motoridersd Now explain the opposite why people gain a few million tons on camera.

@motoridersd This is because the phone’s lens is designed to make your nose look huge in selfies.

Ah yes. The optical illusion that happens when the moon is rising or setting.

The finest minds at NASA have been looking into this.

The Moon Illusion: Why Does the Moon Look So Big Sometimes?

Why does the Moon look so big when it's rising or setting? The Moon illusion is the name for this trick our brains play on us.

@motoridersd @piepants Funnily enough, today I decided to try out a new way of producing photos, by editing them after the fact to match the way I perceived the scene. You look at a nice building, your brain filters out the cars parked in front. You take a picture, you see nothing but the cars? Photoshop them out. Take a picture of flowers in a field, photo is all grass? Multiply and enlarge the flowers. I’m curious what it would be like.
