Throwback to 2019. I took this photo of the Moon and Venus with my old DSLR.
It's not perfect, but it really shows the benefits of a good lens and camera
over a cellphone. In this case, I'm using my 100mm Canon Macro lens. The same
one I used for taking photos of the [eclipse]({{< ref "/blog/2024/eclipse" >}})
in 2024.
