My issue with the moon, in particular, is that:

a) it's not hard, it just requires a long focal length. b) it's not a creative act. The moon drowns out anything else, so it ends up being just a picture of an orb surrounded by black.

Piano is extremely challenging, and playing something well gives you that feeling of having overcome a worthwhile challenge.

Chess is likewise a battle of self-improvement.

Same with painting.

Moon photography? There's zero creativity involved, it's just about whether you've gone out and bought that 150-600 zoom you've been eyeing.
