Macro photography and smartphones
To put it simply, we can say that we are talking about macro photography when we are dealing with extreme close-ups of small objects in pictures. Most of the current smartphones available in the market offer quite good zoom and zoom capabilities. If you decide to try macro photography with a smartphone, you have to take into account certain limitations. How to make your smartphone macros look their best?
Focus and depth of field
Using a macro lens reduces the camera's minimum focus distance, but it does so at the expense of the maximum focus distance (which is infinity on most phone cameras). This means that the distance between the camera and the photographed object is limited. Most lenses require you to maintain a distance of around 2,5cm, and instead of relying on the camera software to focus, you'll need to move your phone around to achieve this distance. A shallow depth of field is also typical for macro shots. The aforementioned limitations can cause some objects in your images to be out of focus, so you need to make good decisions about which parts of the photographed object you want to emphasize.
Light
Due to the small distance from the subject that you have to maintain when taking macro photography, there may also be problems with the lighting of the image. It may happen that you willy-nilly block the light falling on the photographed object. In outdoor conditions, you have no choice but to choose a suitable position in a sophisticated way. In the interior, you can significantly help with additional lights, including lights that can be attached directly to the lens. The last option is additional adjustments after taking the picture.

Movement and stability
Good stability is one of the key conditions for taking quality macro photography. At the same time, achieving it is also one of the biggest problems. Another complication can be the fact that sometimes the object itself moves, whether it is a flower in the wind or an overly active spider. A great idea is to shoot with manual control and set a fast shutter speed to avoid blurring the moving subject. Also try to avoid night photography, and definitely don't be afraid to invest in a quality tripod.
