A real macro lens on a DSLR is like that. You could stop the lens down for more to be in focus, but then because you’re getting close to a pinhole camera you need a TON of light.
Maybe the iPhone would do better in studio conditions, I don’t know.
But it’s a very tough problem.
- jeffbee 4y agoNo? If I took that photo with my 100mm f/2.8 EF macro, everything behind the caterpillar would just be vaguely green. There's be no structure to it at all. I mean it would be way out of focus. The DoF even at f/11 would be ~1cm. The problem with the photo in the article is the structure of the background is quite apparent and all the details in the background have been multiplied into hexagons which is very distracting. Directly comparable macro photograph of a moth. https://www.slrphotographyguide.com/images/butterflymacro.jpg https://www.slrphotographyguide.com/images/butterflymacro.jp...
- MBCook 4y agoOh, I thought you wanted more depth of field. My mistake.
