Strawberry Moon! The full moon last month was beautiful, this is a comparison between what my camera saw #nikonz8 vs what my phone saw, thoughts? #iphone15promax #versus #cameravsphone #photography #blueskyartshow #nowherediary

A 45 megapixel photo of the full moon is centre of this photo, it depicts the different shades on the moon and where visible craters or large mass’ are

This overexposed fullmoon photo was taken with a good camera on my phone! Can’t compete with the Nikon camera I’m afraid
