Corkscrew

Contribution for the Macro Dreams challenges: kitchen utensil and spiralsquare

When buying a new camera phone, I saw an YouTube video giving some promising close up capabilities for the same cameras as used on Sony Xperia 5 II. But that was not the only reason why I chose this phone. A dedicated camera button alone has been my priority number one, when choosing a camera phone. And then there really are not many camera phones available.

Today I tried to find out how the close ups seen on that video could have made. I finally decided to choose the 24 mm equivalent lens. Then I tried the digital zoom up to 70 mm equivalent focal length. And finally I chose a manual focus to be sure the camera is focused as close as it physically can.

The result is surprisingly good, I think. At least good enough for an amateur photographer like me.

Now this amount of magnification is also what is mentioned on Macro Dreams group 'Rules and tips' discussion topic. The image is macro enough when the subject viewed on standard "matchbox" size camera display looks as big as it really is.

Oh love this. I have a favourite corkscrew which is easy to use and I’ve had it a long time. I certainly prefer cork toppers for bottles too!
