Early Wednesday morning, around 1:20-ish a.m., I took the following pics of the moon with my phone camera, once again using the knowledge I'd acquired about the exposure triangle of ISO, aperture (f-stop), and shutter speed. You may recall that I can't control my phone camera's aperture, but I can control the other two corners of the triangle.
What I've done, in the short photo essay below, is give you the wide shots of the moon first; the next three shots are cropped and zoomed so you can see the moon a bit more closely. Note the settings listed in the captions.

| 1:22 a.m., f-stop 1.8, shutter 1/125 sec., ISO 1600, focal length 26 mm |
Below, a change in shutter speed to a faster shutter:
 |
| 1:22 a.m., f-stop 1.8, shutter 1/250 sec., ISO 1600, focal length 26 mm |
Below, a 3X change in shutter speed from the previous shot:
 |
| 1:26 a.m., f-stop 1.8, shutter 1/750 sec., ISO 1600, focal length 26 mm |
And closeups:
 |
| from the first photo above: bright and blurry |
 |
| from the second wide shot above: a bit more detail |
 |
| from the third shot above: positively creepy |
Enhanced with Photoshop:
