Question. Why do people like taking photos of the Moon?
I consider myself an amateur photographer and I don't understand the attraction of filling the frame with an image of something it's impossible to distinguish from someone else's image.
I love Astro-photography when, for example, the Milky Way can be seen in context of a stunning landscape. I also understand the amazement of star-gazing through a telescope, seeing it Live so to speak (if we ignore the speed of light of course).
I just don't get the attraction of photographing an image where there's no artistic merit as such, where it's simply a matter of amassing the correct (and often expensive) equipment.
Not saying there's anything wrong with it, just that don't understand where the satisfaction is.
