Our rhododendrons are budding all the time now. We have about 12 or 14 - losing count and counting in the middle of the night is not the best!
My iPhone gets a shot that is so beautiful. But have found it doesn’t have some good things - zoom and correct focus.
thankful for;
A library visit and two very good books to take with me on our next outing…..zzzz!
Beautiful details. Was it the DoF you aren’t happy with or what about focus? You are definitely right about zoom. 2X zoom is only good for getting better closeups, which is fortunate for me, but not for some people.
@maggiemae IPhone camera definitely takes a different mind set and it won’t replace a DSLR for many shots, but it can do a great job on flowers. Iphone lenses have fixed aperature. Using AE/AF lock is the best way to get precise focus with “depth” in your photos with an iPhone. For flowers I use 2X, then press and hold on the spot I want to focus on until AE/AF lock comes up. It should give good focus where you pressed and a varying amount of depth depending on the distance of the other objects. If you try to “zoom” past the 2, you will really be cropping the photo.
