Snapped this quickly. A little OOF/soft, but just wanted to have fun. :)



Very cool. Love the astronaut watch holder...

I take snaps on my car dashboard most of the time. Morning, sunrise, sunset.

My instagram is @onetickaway

But how do you guys remove the reflection on the crystal? Usually that’s what kills it for me.

I do have an sony a6500 and prime lens but i usually take quick snaps on my iphone XR and thats about it. But reflection is what makes it hard

Your shots are sick and clean, what macro lens do you use?

Thanks man - glad you like them

For the macro stuff I mainly use a Canon 100mm f2.8 lens (on a Canon body). I have also had reasonable results with extension rings on my M4/3 Panasonic.

This . . . x 2, ... PLEASE!


And nice shots, all of you!
BTW, if you're attentive to good light, micro-adjustments on the angle to maximize the color and minimize reflections, and get focus where you want it . . . you can take damn nice shots with an iPhone. It's all I use for wrist-shots, anymore. (and they're pretty nice, too!)

Frankly, I think THAT would be the contest - - - best iPhone pic !
