Macro Photography- It is taking a photo of macro or small things. There are many macro lenses for DSLR in the market.

But what about who cannot afford DSLR?

I’m here to tell you about mobile macro photography.

There are many macro lenses for mobile in the market. But according to me Skyvik signi and Apexel are the best for mobile. You can easily order these lenses online.

Now add this lens to your mobile lens. And go near the object to click the photo.

Here are some photo taken by me.

Amazing photos @sumantsunny , it is incredible that using a smartphone and appropriate lens, you got such great photos (maybe, a few years ago, you’ll need expensive cameras to reach the same results). Thanks for sharing!

woow @sumantsunny …

the pictures are amazing!!! Like a shot from a DSLR camera with a 50mm or 85mm macro lens. The resulting resolution is so sharp, may I know the brand and type of cell phone that you use to shoot these images. Or, if it is forbidden to mention the brand, may I know the camera specifications that are on the cell phone ?

Thanks

Thank you @AdamGT for your kind words.

Generally, I use my mobile that is Redmi 5A. And for macro photography, I use a lens of Apexel, which is used to mount on the camera of the mobile.

Ok an Xiaomi. I’ve heard that they are very capable smartphones and a lot cheaper than say the Google Pixel range. Does it run Android @sumantsunny ?

Yaa, you @AdamGT are right they are cheaper than Google Pixel. And as I am a student (not an employed person) it is tough to buy Google Pixel or GoPro.

Yes, it works on Android.

Using mobile can be quite good for macro photography @sumantsunny - I’m often amazinged what the Pixel manages to pull of with its 7x close up zoom. When the image is first taken you see its not so hot, but then the AI takes over and turns it into everything you want from a macro snap. To get this level of detail normally with my mirrorless camera I would take eight to ten shots and focus stack them but, well, hey face it the phone does just as well without all the effort :slightly_smiling_face:
