To the left is the moon, on the right is Venus with the same luminosity if you weren’t seeing it through my phone camera. It’s probably the brightest I’ve seen in a year. Taken in Colorado so I don’t know how your local orientation will differ.

I get some weird artifacting on my phone so Venus is partly blotted where it was the brightest.
Oh shit space is doing an Islam
Your phone sensor is actually hella good. If you look at Venus through a telescope, you’ll see that we’re actually seeing her perpendicular to the sun-- a quarter of it in shadow and a quarter of it in light. I think that could be why it looks so odd here.
I think it’s so bright it overloaded the sensor, that fuckin rules
Wait no Venus come back.
Yours is a lot closer to the naked eye image. I couldn’t get one without zooming in to avoid surface lights.
I usually use manual controls as well. Just have a quick shutter speed and it’ll capture less light so that it captures an image that is closer to what you see with the naked eye.
