"Damn Moon" (Actually, make it damn limited megapixels)

 

I do believe in the saying that the limitations in one's photography is one's self since what we see is what we are. However, it does not apply to the photographer's equipment. Take the picture above as an example. That full moon was a sight to behold that is why I decided to take a snap of it although I did took it with my phone camera (5MP of XMP) since that is the one that I have "handy" at that time.

As you can see, the limitations of the hardware became evident with the shot (although the original photo was worse than the one shown above) that I had. It is a good thing that unlike the equipment, the photographer itself has little to no limitation (if there is determination), so with some post-processing I was able to make tweaks to make the photo a decent one and not let it go to waste and even put it here in the blog.

Lesson Learned: When trying to take photos of things up in the night sky like the moon, whip out the best gear, but if you happen to only have to make do with your camera phone snapper, do not lose hope, you can still make a good photo with it.

Remember, the equipment may have many limitations, but the photographer itself only has one...

That is himself/herself.

Hope this post inspired.

Until the next post...

This image was taken using the trusty complementary 5 megapixel camera of my mobile phone. Post-processing done for borders and watermark.
