A same moon. Two different views.

This is a composition of two photos of the moon taken one after the other. The left moon shows a bright photo allowing to partially see the moon illuminated by light reflected by Earth. Can you see the moon's Bailey's beads? The moon at right was taken just a moment after shutting down the camera's diaphragm to allow less light to see more detailed on the sun lit portion of the moon. At the moment of the photos the moon was 15% illuminated.

Nikon Coolpix P950 camera.

This is a composition of two photos taken of the same moon one after the other. The one at the left with wide aperture to allow more light to see a bright moon with its Bailey's beads. The one at the right taken with a closed diaphragm to allow to see more detail on the moon's lit surface.
