Macro shots with iPhone 12 - any advice aside from lighting?

Clean the item you’re shooting to a micron level :-)

One or two of the photo's here have reminded me that, I need to get my sensor cleaned. (Small apertures will embarrass you, every time).


Some lovely watches and good pix chaps.

Even with the new multi-lens phones they still digitally zoom, don't they?

I messed with a picture of our cat sat by the fire. He was quite small in the picture and I zoomed in to a close portrait shot. It looked like an impressionist oil painting :) Quite cool really.

True it’s not optical zoom. I’m going to try and take some macro shots without the need for digital zoom
