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
>a normal sized speedlite
ngmi
Godox AD300 is the bare minimum

>>4379087
That fuckin thing costs as much as my body, and now I want it.

>>4379091
You know what you must do.

Sell your body to afford all the camera gear.

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.
