Toronto. One of my favourite past times is closeup photography. With the digital era this is like Dickens and his “Tale of Two Cities” – “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times …”. Digital technology makes colour images far more crisp but the auto focus makes it very hard to capture a sharp image of what you see.
Modern day Smartphones are very often the camera of choice and in Brian Matiash’s latest “lightroom everywhere” blog, he offers the article, “My Must-Have Smartphone Photo Gear” showing the photographer of today (amongst other things) how to get closeup shots with a Smartphone.
No, digital technology and Smartphones aren’t quite history yet, but give them a few more decades and voilà! Histoire!
By the way, this is the start of BHM, 2024 edition.
