I'm bored and Lemmy needs content so I randomly took a photo of the moon. Enjoy this shitty moon pic.

Using my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Lol JK, just the regular S23.

Edit: I tried again and held my hand steady this time, does this one looks better?

Fun fact: Samsung adds fake detail to moon shots. I take a lot of photos of the moon and they always come out looking crazy detailed to an almost unrealistic degree.

Hadn't heard about this—pretty disturbing, to be honest.

It's very dishonest to have it on by default without letting the user know, but I don't think it's any more disturbing than the beauty filters that are mainstream on most smartphone cameras.

Is this an actual picture or the camera recognizing is a picture of the moon an enhancing? Try to take a picture of a white circle on a black background to check if your camera do that "trick"

I told my friend his Samsung phone doesn’t actually take a photo of the moon. He called me a hater because I had Apple lol

The real question is how did OP get a picture of the far side of the moon?

Maybe my hands was shaky and the image turned out weird.

Or maybe Samsung's image processing AI is trying too hard, they accidentally processed the opposite side of the moon.

Edit: Wait what far side? My photo doesn't looks like the far side.

See that was a trick question. This pic isn’t the far side but how do you know what the far side looks like??

Here's my Samsung S22 Ultra moon pic from 2 nights ago. I don't care if there's fake detail!

Liftoff or Lemmy rotated the photo 90 degrees counter clockwise during the upload. Huh.

Still beats most of the pictures I've taken of the moon with my phone.

That’s really not bad coming from a smartphone. I remember when pictures of the moon were just little white circles

Edit: Samsung sucks, didn’t know that

It’s faked.

Ninja edit: it’s enhanced so much that it may as well be faked. Samsung recognizes when the moon is the subject and fakes the quality of the image.

Oooh I can see the shitty face in the shitty moon pic. Nice!
