I tried taking some pictures of the “supermoon” with my BlackBerry Bold. Something of a failure, but it did drive home the difference between phone cameras and proper cameras. I love the phone camera for taking quick snaps, mainly because it is almost always at hand and it’s easy to upload pictures to Twitter or email them out. But sometimes it is simply lacking in its ability to adapt. Taking pictures of the moon is one of those situations. Of course, it didn’t help that I was taking it through a window. The shots I took outside turned out much the same, but with less “splatter”.
But having said that, I rather like the effect!
