This weeks #qurator photo contest is about macro photography this is one field of photography that I would imagine is difficult if you don't have the right camera with the appropriate macro lens so I immediately thought this contest would not be for me but then I came to me remembering that my new Samsung S21 Pro with it's advanced technology has the ability to switch itself over to macro mode, this happens when you get within 10 centimeters of an object, the camera acknowledges and automatically switches over to its close-up mode how cool is that.
So knowing this could be possible even though I have never tried macro photography. I when out to my backyard were we have a shrubby tree which has all these clusters of Yellow Bell flowers and is popular with Bees, so what I did I got close up to these clusters of Yellow Bell flowers, I zoomed in and the camera on the phone just automatically adjusted and switched to macro this was amazing to see. I stood there quietly and patiently looking like a statue and waited for the Bees to come in view of the camera after snapping quite a few shots and my arms nearly falling, I had managed a few good shots which was surprising to me in how great the technology of these smartphones really are but in order to achieve better photos you need to have a pretty steady hand also.
