STEREOSCOPIC VISION AND A SNOW MOON



I have always been frustrated with how poorly a giant full moon looks when you try and take a picture of it. My friend Susanne, who photographs often to use as reference to produce art, explained it to me. I love that the answer just confirms how incredibly we are made as humans.

A camera always has a focal point that puts everything beyond it at the same distance in the background, but our eyes, with stereoscopic (binaucular) view can distinguish the nearness in the way that can wow on a crisp clear night.
