Photography is one of my favorite hobbies ... Loving it for ever, but giving it more time for the past 2 years (approximately)

Smartphones helped a lot with that, not everyone can lay their hands on a camera .. or buy one :(

Since the first quarantine, I discovered by accident .. macro shots - taking them on a phone! I just happened to move my phone closer to a ladybug and when I was looking at the photos after a while, I realized it looked amazing! (in my eyes at least)

Since then, I found a lot of things that fascinate me .. and I am sure there is a lot to be discovered yet

One of the themes I like to shoot is droplets .. on leaves, on the ground, on flowers.. on pretty much everything..

Let's see some of my recent images of drops

I have a small garden that mostly has roses, so many of my images are with roses

This is a close up of an opened up rose

This is another close up of a very young baby rose :)

I really liked the angle of this rose to be honest so I just had to share this too!

After the rain, everything looks more clear!

And when it is raining too much, I am sitting in my car and taking photos outside :)

To take these images, I try to get as close as I can with my smartphone. I click on the screen to make the image looks clear - because if I dont, the photo will be blurry.

Do you have any tips for shooting drops?

I hope this will be useful for everyone reading this :)

It is amazing what you can do with a smart phone camera. I do use my smart phone, although in many instances I prefer my Canon EOS Rebel T5. It took awhile before I understood what a macro-lens could do. I am still learning and take many photos of the same thing so i can choose the best. Your photos are wonderful to view. Thank you.

My smartphone's camera is not too good at macros. Are these also by smartphone?
