Swarovski swan shot on a glass mirror .... Macro works great for extreme close ups but also is excellent for close-up product shots, as well.

Good idea .... I will do it ... soon ... My favorite thing for macro is to shoot an object with little twinkle lights in the background that get nice bokeh in the shot and I have not been able to replicate that with the iPhone 12 and earlier. I will try it one night very soon ....

setting were on "vibrant" so it is a bit oversaturated.
Fantastic Luna shot(s)!
Attached is a shot I {barely} managed to capture last year with my ip8 (unfortunately prior to my getting an iP12-Mini) . . . 14-takes, with mindful hold, between-breaths, and this is the best example of what I could do.
How mane takes/tries did you do?

Sure thing!
1. Need a tripod that can hold your camera (or phone in my case).
2. For macro photos you need a macro lens. I use an expensive (but well worth it in my opinion) from Moment or the new iphone.
3. You need a wind free/vibration free place to put the gear because you will be taking many images of the subject at different focal lengths.
4. I use CameraPixels on my phone and with it I manually focus out so the first of the trichomes are just in focus.
5. I then scroll through to the other end of manual focus to see all of the image that will be in focus at the end of the next step. I want to see over the full focal length of my camera how much of the image I will capture in full focus. Hope that makes sense.
6. Set the app up to use the Focus Stacking mode and I choose around 25-50 images to take.
7. Once I press the shutter button on the app, it takes 25-50 images at different focal lengths, from one extreme to the other, and saves them to my phone.
8. I move the images to my laptop where I use HeliconFocus app to combine all images and create one with much more depth and focus than I could get with one iPhone image.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
If you use a DSLR and a macro lens, your images will be much, much more amazing. This is a more affordable way to get great images.
Both photos taken with the macro mode, just from different distance. Not cropped. ProRAW.
My dog’s new pet. She keeps bringing him into the house, and I have to take him back outside.

I’m not a good photographer, here are some taken on a grey day
Snapped this last night before it got too dark outside. Macro mushroom.
This little guy refused to get off my bike spoke. Surprised it let me get so close.
Thank you!
