ELI5: Why I see a glorious and massive moon sometimes, with my eyes, but when I go to take a picture, it just looks like a tiny minuscule dissapointment?

One's perception of the size of the moon is heavily influenced by 'context clues', or other nearby structures. It's a bit of an optical illusion to say that the moon ever looks significantly larger or smaller.

When you take a picture, you lose many of these context clues and your brain interprets the picture differently than looking out over the horizon, so the effect is different inside your brain.
