I have a little thryptomene saxicola that has been my enemy - every time I attempt to take a photo of it with the "proper" camera it comes out looking blurry, and I can get a much better photo of it using my phone camera. At one point I was convinced there was something wrong with my camera - but, obviously, it just turns out that I didn't know how to use the thing properly.

So - big moment for me - I have finally been able to take a photo of this plant that I think looks better than a quick phone snap. It involved a bit of stuffing around in Lightroom and with focus stacking (the only editing I did on the phone version is a quick crop) but it's progress!

Looks great.

FWIW I think the top photo is the better of the two.

The foliage come out beautifully.

Small update: I've bought myself a proper macro lens, and have become very distracted taking photos of tiny critters. My wife is a proper arachnophobe so unfortunately doesn't get to appreciate all of my lovely photos.

Great pic!

Now… having seen you go down the rabbit hole… guessing you may be ADHD!

Takes one to know one.

Snap!

Where were you a year ago when I was completely clueless about it?
