Felt I captured the moon pretty well!
gameson wroteHonestly don’t think you can get close with an iPhone, if so, probably some third party software? I’m sure it’s possible, but I have no idea.any technique on how to take picture with iPhone that can do that? i understand you took it with digital camera... but some of pictures i have seen are taken by iPhone.
Fredcohiba wroteThank you!Nice shot. Tripod? What were your settings and ISO?
No tripod, just point and shoot!
I will check my settings when I’m back with my camera (I was playing around with ISO anywhere between 100-320 and f stop between 5.6 and 8).
Jbrown7403 wroteThank you!Great shot! I pinched the image to zoom in and it is really clear!
SaMaster14 wroteNikon D7500 with a Tamron zoom lens (70-300). Full zoom, and I want to say ISO 320, f6.3Thank you!

but damn cool!A NASA camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) captured a unique view of the Moon as it passed between the spacecraft and Earth. A series of test images shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the Moon that is not visible from Earth.

Jbrown7403 wroteWoah! Very, very cool!Not my shot (duh

gameson wroteIn my experience the iPhone camera can't handle the contrast difference of a dark sky and very bright moon. Lens/lens cover flare is one issue, lens and sensor resolution are another issue.any technique on how to take picture with iPhone that can do that? i understand you took it with digital camera... but some of pictures i have seen are taken by iPhone.
c1pher wroteThat’s fair… but I can’t get used to the clunky android UI (in my opinion), nor losing iMessage and the apple ecosystem. Too many cons outweigh the benefit of a slightly better camera (where if I’m really being serious, I’d just grab my DSLR anyways).If you use a Samsung phone you will get a perfect moon shot every time.
I imagine with a tripod/stabilization setup and some tinkering, the iPhone can capture a photo nearly as well, too.

c1pher wrotelol; that article is “proving” they aren’t fake though, right? But I guess “every time” is a huge stretch
I feel like in general, the Samsung cameras are slightly better “out of the box” than the iPhone cameras, although with proper equipment, both can do phenomenal work for phone cameras.
I shot this handheld with my D7500 with an old Sigma 70-300 @ 300mm (450mm with APS-C crop), 1/1600, f5.6, iso 200 on 27 September 2023.
Nikon D7500, Nikkor 18-200 VRII @ 200mm, Manual mode, 1/160, f5.6, ISO100. If I remember correctly this was on a tripod in my driveway on a timer. I prefer this shot over the other I posted by a wide margin.
(And I got the Swatch special haha)
