Crescent Moon and Venus with maximum magnitude
Taken by Shiraishi on December 7, 2013 @ The couple of Moon and Venus before sunset. On Dec. 7 Venus has its maximum magnitude. Since I was inspired by the photo of Moon and Venus taken by other photographer on this site, I challenged to take photos of Moon and Venus by the same focal length and almost same exposure condition. I am impressed the big and small crescent objects of almost the same shape and inclination. Nikon COOLPIX P510 digital camera (no telescope); ISO 100, F5.9, 1/250s exposure, f=1000mm for Moon ISO 100, F5.9, 1/320s exposure, f=1000mm for Venus

Thank you very much, Migroja!
I was inspired by your photo!
Yes, as you mentioned, Venus shines more than the Moon. Venus has more luminance per unit solid angle than the Moon. If Venus had the same apparent diameter as the Moon, or 48 times larger than real, it would so bright... (If so, Venus (-4.7 mag today) would have -13.1 mag that is brighter than the full moon! in spite of its crescent shape.
