A very inspirational video! Initially, I clicked on the video thinking, "meh, just another flower tutorial". I was wrong! This is REALLY interesting and different. Thank you for posting on KZfaq! Best wishes, David in the UK.

@mgmoats
@mgmoats 4 жыл бұрын
Nathan, what camera phones do really well is get everything in focus, so find interesting subjects and fill the frame with that subject and the phone will do a great job getting all of the subject in focus. I'll do a post one day about shooting macro with point and shoot cameras, and phones. But you keep working at it.

@@mgmoats I have seen many videos that advise to avoid shooting at F22 or F32 because of diffraction caused by the small aperture. On the other hand, your pictures at these openings are quite excellent. What is your take on this?
@mgmoats
@mgmoats 2 жыл бұрын
@@cropperson5583 Yes shooting at high f/stop numbers will cause some slight softness in the details. All post processing programs have sharpening tools. Sharpening your images will correct the softness from the diffraction, as you see in my images they are all sharp. I'm sure you have heard of the most famous of all landscape photographers, Ansel Adams. Ansel and 7 other famous photographers started a camera club in California back in the 1930. That camera club was named Group f/64. All the photographers in this club owned lenses that went to f/64, and that is where they shot all their photos, as their style of shooting was to get everything in focus, so they shot at f/64 to get maximum depth of field. There is a book written about the club which was called, Group f/64, look for it on, Amazon.
