June 28, 2018 – Day 240 – iPhone 7 Plus Daily B/W Photo Challenge – Close-up – With a lot of patience and a bit of practice you can get some decent close-ups with your iPhone! I’ve found by using the burst mode and tapping the screen to adjust your focus can allow you to get in close! This shot was taken about 3-4 inches away from the insect on the leaf. Using a tripod can help, but I’ve found it’s a bit more difficult as they move around. Also, start a bit further out and move in slowly, taking pictures as you do so. That way it won’t get as skittish and leave! The 2x optical zoom on the newer cameras helps as well.
