Justin, who simply goes by his first name, took to social media to reveal the steps he takes to take the perfect picture of the full moon, which had people gawking at how simple it was.

The first thing you need to do, according to Justin, is to fully zoom into the moon with your iPhone before pressing and holding down on the image of the moon to lock down the focus.

This means that even if you move your phone, the camera will still focus on the moon – a super useful trick for those with shaky hands.

Once you lock down the focus, a tiny yellow sun will appear on the screen, which you can then move up or down along a bar.

Justin then explained that you’ll want to move it all the way down to lower the exposure.

This will make the image on your phone go from a blurry ray of light to the actual moon itself.

As you move the exposure bar down, the moon’s surface will become clear and you’ll even be able to see the craters.

Finally, you just take your picture!

Simple, right? Now go try it this upcoming full moon and every moon to come by after that.
