I’ve been the proud owner of an iPhone 13 Pro for a week now. It has been a while since I bought the latest iPhone when it came out. My 6s was the last one. So when I bought the 8 Plus, it was already 2-3 generations old.
The much-improved battery life (compared to my 8 Plus) and the camera setup attracted me to the new iPhone. In addition, the built-in macro mode looked interesting in the introduction. Having three lenses also means that I don’t feel the need to buy a set of add-on lenses, which are nice but never at hand when needed. That’s, of course, my personal experience.
The other day, I took some close-up shots of the flowers around me, and I have to say it was fun. While some shots came out blurry, the majority turned out nice, at least in terms of sharpness. Composition is another story.
This photo shows a geranium blossom. The camera can focus down to 2 cm, which is very close. However, it can be tricky to avoid creating shadows with the phone since there is hardly any distance between the lens and the object.
I didn’t do much post-processing. Besides cropping, the image is pretty much as it came out of the phone. I used the native camera app and ProRAW.
