    Default Anyone into photography?

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    I mostly use my phone out hiking & picts are ok, but I have been wanting to get more into micro/macro which it is not very good @..

    Before making a bigger investment I was thinking of getting a micro/macro lens for my phone camera about a x15 & maybe a X20 which are not expensive..

    Anyone dabbed in any of that??Suggestions??

    I do some photography, particularly night photography. Most of my knowledge I gleaned from Mr. Owl, who is the expert here.

    What are you wanting to photograph specifically? I'm not sure that those lenses designed for digital cell cameras are all that good but don't really know much about them. My phone cam is a 15 megapixel and takes excellent distant photos; close-up though, not so much.

    Yes, my phone takes great picts as well but close up it can't focus well..

    Say you want to take pict of a flower, then the center section, then some of the individual aspects of the center...

    Example: I can't get any closer than these..

    It's the nature of the lens; they're not designed to be zoomed-in like that. You may want to consider a regular digital camera and a macro lens. 50mm would be a good place to start. Mr. Owl said 100mm is also good, and allows you to not be as close to your subject as with the 50mm.

    The other thing I don't like about my cell cam is that its zoom is crappy even for distance photos. I've tried to get pics of owls and other birds up in trees using the zoom. Like with your flowers you can tell there is something there but it's fuzzy and indistinct.

    Usually you are just better off not using it & then cropping the pict for a better quality/sharper focus on the part of your image you wish to focus on..
