Wow! amazing photos! must have a very nice camera :D

I'll leave you to guess which of these was taken with a cell phone, which with a 3.2 megapixel point and shoot and which with $10k of professional equipment. I'm going to toss in one photo taken on a disposable film camera with a good understanding of lighting, shutter speeds, film ISO and neutral density filters for sh*** and giggles. .









Hopefully this conveys that it's NOT about the equipment. It's about the photographer. It's like complimenting someone's oven for a good cake.

@LaDukePhoto I'm guessing the last one?!
Why do you do this to me :p
I said about the camera because of the up close ladybird and know that phones can't get that close :D

@spudthetortoise - If you want a phone with amazing camera capabilities the LG G4 focuses incredibly close. I don't have it in my hand right now but i will try to remember to post something from it.

Thank you for this post. Just today that question for a good photo taking phone passed through my mind. We sorely need updated phones.

Decent pic from the G4, my yard snake. View attachment 176110
Wow, that does get close. My IPhone 6s takes nice pics but can't get that close. I took these pics on my iPhone:

I love close up pictures of animals so I was thinking of getting a magnifying filter to put on my camera and if I like it, look into a macro lens. Do you have any experience of these?
