Macro is about the size of the object you're photographing and not the level of magnification you're using, right?

>>4376735
Technically speaking it is about magnification, but practically speaking you are correct. Small things that generally need specific equipment to photograph properly. I mean, you can shoot at 1x mag with a person as your subject but all you're going to get is nose hair, so that's not really "macro" as we know it.

>>4376746
Depending on sensor/film size. I suppose using large format film for macro is a bit of an extreme edge case these days. A headshot in 8x10, or a whole ass cat if you shot 20x24 could be at 1x magnification, but it's not in the spirit of macro.

f/22 and I still didnt get the eye in focus, fuck my life.

>>4378899
No, you did, they're probably diffracted to shit tho

>>4378899
I'll tell you a little secret to get your macro shots more consistently in focus.
Figure out a way to use clear glass and a high power loupe to focus. Relying on ground glass or split prism is not precise enough.

Or just use a camera with excellent AF lol.

>>4378899
Don't listen to the other retard, he has no clue
Use manual focus with peaking on

>>4378898
Oh, you're shooting digital. Ignore my advice. It only works for film. Just be gay and focus stack 99 images if you're doing digital macro.

>Just be gay and focus stack
Yeah basically, but that's gonna be next to impossible with a flash and a moving subject.
I thought Canon's diffraction correction was mint but I can see it fails to improve on certain things.
>>4378991
See I would normally go with MF, but this guy took me by surprise and I wanted to get the shot off quickly; he did indeed fly off about 1.5 seconds later, so fucking around with MF may have missed me the shot.

I think you can get a power pack for certain flashes that up the burst rate significantly. Probably not worth the expense unless you're really into being gay.

>>4379038
well software trickery has it's limits, the eyes have very small details, smaller than the scales in the wing, beyond a point they all meld together and you get the resullt you see

>>4379052
Interesting. Currently rocking a TT350 Godox mini because of the muh grams/space savings, but I think I might just go full HAM on a normal sized speedlite and look into these power packs you speak of.

>>4379086

Godox AD300 is the bare minimum

My first ever macro. Shot on an galaxy a55. How do I get this macro shooting to be more stable?

>>4379112
Tripod and/or powerful flash.
Phone macro is difficult because even with dedicated macro gear it is not simple to get good results with.
This is a decent photo especially considering the tools available to you. At macro distances you'll struggle to get much in focus.

I received a UV Hi Topcor 55mm f1.8 lens a few days ago and it has amazed me. Here's a shot from my backyard, taken with a Fujifilm X-S10, using a Fotodiox Pro PRONTO Autofocus adapter in macro mode. I really like old lenses. Especially ones like this that cost less than $50.

NTA but you don't need to post a photo every time you give an opinion. You kind of just proved this with your own post.... if you don't trip you might as well be one of these "nophotos" you're obsessed with.

>>4383905
>/p/ is dying. 2/3rds the board is a gear thread. How do we make sure the board doesn't die?
>Let's shit talk some of the few people going outside and taking photos.
>No we don't need to even OWN a camera! That's the best part, we just have to spout liquid shit out of our mouths on any thread with photos!

Bro I don't even do macro, but you are a certified NIGGER

>>4383906
>thinks endless snapshits in categorized threads are the life of the board
On the contrary, snapshitters killed /p/. It used to be a photography board with quality work from people who made photo dumps in their own threads. Now it's just another imageboard no different than the rest. It's why all the good people stop posting here, it's embarrassing. Your snapshits may prevent you from being a nophoto but more importantly, it bolsters your position as a notphotog.

>>4383910
>oh no, people might take photos because it's fun, that's not allowed. you have to be a pro or aspire to be a pro, and the only way to enjoy photography is to impress a faggot like me on a macedonian ship building forum.
Yeah cool man, let us know when you start one of those threads with good photos you speak of.

>>4383910
Think the nolife trolls are what ruined it and you're just coping. Look at you whining and bitching instead of contributing, pictures or meaningful criticism.

>>4383906
Nobody gives a fuck about generals except the people who post in them. Separate photo threads actually "save" the board and also get more attention. Here there is endless barrage of snapshit without any thought, it's chaotic fuck up same as instagram's explore tab.

If you want to boast about le saving the board then at least make a separate thread of your photos with a coherent theme.

>>4383916
If you think anyone here posts because of some approval from niggers like you or I, you're both a nigger and a dumb faggot.

Generals exist to correlate themes where contributors don't have enough for their own thread. if you want curated portfolios, fuck off to insta.

>>4383920
>>If you think anyone here posts because of some approval from niggers like you or I,
Speak for your own self.

>if you want curated portfolios, fuck off to insta.
Funny because you're acting exactly like instagram user. If anyone say anything slightly negative they just like you lose their shit and block them. (You) should go back to insta, not me.

>>4383920
>>Generals exist to correlate themes where contributors don't have enough for their own thread.
Generals create lazy pieces of shit. Who just keep dumping their shit like they're on insta without thinking about wider and complex themes which sometimes take years to build. Create your own thread is by far the best thing for beginners.

>>4383925
>>4383927
Where's YOUR photo thread, faggots?

Generals are like sharing your room with 50 other people. Have some self respect and start making your own individual photo threads.
