Almost anything on this planet has the potential to perform way beyond its capabilities - if given the opportunity and a little help. This happened to be the case with the flimsy 5MP camera of my LG Arena. With a simple hand-made macro lens (any magnifying glass would do, but it'd be nice to be as powerful as possible) I was able to take closeup photos which are impossible to make with a standart point-and-shoot camera's "macro" mode.
Within the next two weeks I'll post some of the best shots I took with the mobile phone's camera and I'll spice them with background details, including the major challenges which every noob photographer has to overcome.
Today's picture:
This is a delicate fern (it was originally green, i changed the colors using the in-build image editing tool) is only 1cm long. I took the photo when I visited Nikko's Toshogu Shrine in Japan. It was growing on bare stone probably because of the intense moisture.
Macroscopic Problem №1:
One of the biggest problems with "mobile" macro (as I'll call it from now on) is the depth of field (the area in front of and behind the point of focus in which things look clear). It can't be changed and that makes photographing non-flat objects a hard task.
