The macro photography thread ( watches only)
i purchased a macro lens a few days ago so decided to give it a try on my D850 camera.Its so different from any type of photography i have ever done so i kept it simple with just 1 light, no props. The lens is the Sigma 105mm os lens and it seems sharp enough.Well here goes for a few shots of my Parmigiani.

Trying a macro lens for the first time
I must admit I had the dslr and all the lenses but it got to be too much of a faff for me, so I only use iPhone now. Of course you cannot achieve as good as a full camera set up, but with most images it’s 70% about the lighting. I took this quick pic this afternoon. If you can find a window with natural light but not direct https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...21ea7ba02b.jpg then the results can be flattering without lots of reflections and pretty much in focus. Not perfect but plenty good for my needs.
I did read somewhere that you can get macro lens adapters for iPhones which might be something I’ll look into [emoji848]

Messing around with a torch and the Nikon D850 today to create a bit of lume.
