So I finally found the photography forum!

I really hate phone cameras, but it's much easier to mess with than using my ancient Canon PowerShot 110. I have a cheap, $60 Android. Nothing special and photos are typically not that great. However, sometimes it actually focuses well and everything comes together. This is where I'll post some of my best, close-up shots. Everything taken with either a Lazy Lense or no lense at all. Enjoy!

I decided I would try a couple things just now. I probably threw out 50+ to get a few good ones. This is fun!

Nice pics! Now if only we could get the vendors to take real pictures like this things would be great. Keep it up.
Thanks and I totally agree!
The lenses I use are from Lazy's Coral House. He uses these and doesn't edit his photos. His corals are truly wysiwyg. The photo very much matches real life. No oversaturated bs.
My goal is to keep the photos as close to real life as possible.

Nice shots -- way better than my iPhone pictures.

I have better luck going top-down through $20 Amazon acrylic coral viewer than through front glass.
*just a thought for if you're looking for more ways to experiment
