How to take macro photos with iPhone (# 12)

Episode 12 of the section "HOW TO TAKE BETTER PHOTOS WITH IPHONE" where I talk about tricks and tips on photography with the iPhone. In today's episode we talk about macro photo: how are they done with iPhone? What do you need?

In this article we want to summarize some key points of this shooting mode that you must always keep in mind to improve your shots. Let's start:

How do you shoot a Macro?

With the term "Macro"Means a type of photography in which detail is enhanced to the maximum. A macro photograph is the more beautiful the more they are the details and details that you will be able to trap in the shot; maybe even things that the human eye fails to notice.

Take macro photos with iPhone it's not really that easy because you definitely need a lot of tests, some experience and maybe some additional access. However this guide is valid for any iPhone model In circulation. Let's get started right away:

The first detail to keep in mind is the focus. To take a Macro photo is necessary get very close to the subject so that the focus goes right on a particular detail of that subject, blurring everything that is outside. So get as close to the subject as you can (as long as the camera allows you to keep focus).

The best way to take close-up macro photos is - if possible with your smartphone - to use the Telephoto secondary camera. Not all iPhones or smartphones have this type of sensor fitted, but if available use it because you will get one best macro shot of what you did with the main camera:

Much more can be done!

If these above looked like Macro photos, then know that you are far away! Those can at best be considered "close-up photos of a flower"! As mentioned, Macro photos require as much detail as possible, and the only way to take true Macro photography is to use iPhone lenses. I personally have tried quite a few and I can tell you that the best lenses I have tested - with a good function / detail ratio - are the MACRO MOMENT lenses which you can find on the official Moment website.

In this case the advice is always the same: come closer as much as you can and do everything to make both you and the subject be farm. At this point, take as many photos as you can (because later you may find that some photos are not properly focused) and finally - if you want - modified photos with the gallery or with apps like Lightroom to make them spectacular:

Of course, they are obviously not within everyone's reach, but know that they are there anyway great alternatives on Amazon, also very cheap, with which you can take discrete Macro photos on the iPhone without spending big bucks:

Other useful tricks

Once you have mastered this mode, you can also add a few more tricks that we have seen in the other episodes. For example, you can use the Burst mode, that is, hold down the shutter button to take many more photos and then choose the best one.

Another trick is to change the exposure: once you have focused on a point of the photo, with your finger swipe on the screen in order to increase / decrease the brightness level of the photo, so as to enhance lights or shadows. Finally, don't forget to always carry a comfortable bag with you tripod like these:
