    I got "The Stand" stuck on the brain, still, from a binge watch last weekend. M - O - O - N spells too much post-apocalyptic content in one go.

    I know, a girl I used to hang with showed me. Just zoom all the way in, takes a steady hand, once you have it, it'll lock in focus, then shoot.

    I have the same phone. Did you crop the photo? Because mine would take a photo of a vast area around the moon.

    Holy crap man. Next time my wife says my phone takes blurry photos I'll show her this photo and tell her it's operator error!

    Suppose this could also go in the "you're doing it wrong" thread.

    Pretty sure that's the dad on the very left.

    This was sent to me as representative of Ohio. Cleveland, possibly. Near that burning river I heard about. Could also be Indiana. Southern Indiana. (You know who you are.)

    I dunno, but I heard he was out on the porch shooting an elephant in his pajamas.
    What that elephant was doing in his pajamas, I'll never know.

    Re: photography and shaking...
    All y'all may know this already, but the old pro trick for minimizing shake sans a tripod (or monopod, or other stabilizing aid): start to exhale slowly and evenly, then press the shutter while exhaling.
