Exactly, it won't look bigger in the frame. That's why it's
perceptual, rather than optical. Take a picture of an optical

of a perceptual illusion, and it looks different in the picture than
your brain sees it.
gotcha (now)

well that's for sure...
but give the same lens you are looking through ... say a 300 mm looking
through it at a Harvest moon (which, when low on the horizon, looks larger
than a moon that is full and way up in the sky) won't it appear larger in
your frame ? That's why I thought his photo was of the moon at a lower
angle...
thanks for the physics lesson :-)

This is one case where it's easy to tell if it is real or Memorex.

Duh - really? lol
When it
appears larger near the horizon, it's a perceptual illusion.
but does not the camera pick up perceptual illusions?

I have to say I'm amazed you can get that much detail witht the 55-300
of
the moon...
are you photo'ing this when the moon is just rising? close to the
horizon?
Thanks for your compliment on my besaties, btw
